Melt Flow Index Tester, Fully Automated MFI, MFR & MVR Testing

Melt Flow Index Tester, Fully Automated MFI, MFR & MVR Testing

Manufactured by Techlab Systems

Melt Flow Index Tester MFI-500/AUTO offers fully automated MFI, MFR & MVR testing.

The advanced design of the Plastometer is labour saving and greatly improves safety by eliminating the need to lift the weights manually. This combined with the advanced yet easy to use software makes this a great choice for all your melt viscosity testing needs with a wide range of thermoplastics.

The Melt Flow Tester complies with the following standards.

ASTM D 1238 Standard Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer

ISO 1133 Determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of thermoplastics

Methods A (GRAVIMETRIC) and B (VOLUMETRIC)

Melt Flow Index Tester MFI-500/AUTO offers fully automated MFI, MFR & MVR testing

The Melt Flow Indexer ensures highly accurate and repeatable test results while ensuring safe operating conditions.
