Melt Flow Indexer MFI-500/AP Computer Controlled MFR & MVR Testing

Melt Flow Indexer MFI-500/AP Computer Controlled MFR & MVR Testing

Manufactured by Techlab Systems

The Melt Flow Indexer MFI-500/AP is an advanced computer controlled Plastometer for determining the melt viscosity and flow rate of a wide range of thermoplastics under different temperature and pressure conditions.

Melt mass-flow rate (MFR)

Melt volume-flow rate (MVR)

Full compliance with the requirements of:

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

Methods A (GRAVIMETRIC) and B (VOLUMETRIC)

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

Melt Flow Indexer MFI-500/AP Computer Controlled MFR & MVR Testing

Easy to use repeatable MFI, MFR & MVR testing of polymers. Advanced design and powerful software ensures reliable results every time.

  • Both gravimetric and volumetric methods
  • Melt mass-flow rate (MFR)
  • Melt volume-flow rate (MVR)
  • Automated cut off
  • Automated displacement measurement
  • Corrosion resistant barrel, piston & die for testing corrosive polymers such as PVC
  • Supplied complete with 20 inch PC and software
  • Full set of weights supplied up to 21.6kg
