- Extrusion plastometers, also known as melt flow index testers are used to determine the melt mass flow rate (MFR) and melt volume flow rate (MVR) of a plastic melted mass. Measurement of the flow behavior of the melted material is used to compare different grades of the same polymer and provides an important parameter for quality assurance and incoming goods inspections, for material selection and the setup of processing machines by plastics processors. Demands on these melt flow indexers vary according to which plastics processing stage is involved.
- Tests according to standards ISO 1133-1,-2 (methods A and B), ASTM D1238 (methods A, B and C), ASTM D3364 and JIS K 7210
- The Mflow extrusion plastometer integrates all these requirements into a single instrument. Its modular design ensures:
-
- A high level of automation
- Simplified processes
- Reliable test results
- Flexible application options
- Intuitive operation
- Utmost safety for the user
- Fast familiarization
- Smooth processes
- Compatible workflows
