Melt Flow Indexer
Overview
This type of Melt Flow Indexer is a new and affordable tabletop instrument that tests the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of a wide range of thermoplastic raw materials, in the form of granules, strips of film etc. This test method is particularly useful for quality control tests on thermoplastics. MVR will be found particularly useful when comparing materials of different filler content and when comparing filled with unfilled thermoplastics. The MFR can be determined from MVR measurements provided the melt density at the test temperature and pressure is known.
Standard ISO1133, ASTM D1238 and the equivalent.
