Instron Melt Flow Testers
Extrusion Plastometers for Rapid Incoming Material Acceptance and Efficient Process Control
Instron® MFi Series of melt flow index testers are specifically designed for easy and accurate measuring of Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Volume Rate (MVR) according to Melt Flow Rate testing procedure A, procedure B, procedure C and procedure D, determined by ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133 standards.
Why Melt Flow Testing Optimizes Your Productivity?
Simply said, melt flow testing is a measurement of how easily a polymer flows when it is melted. The melt mass-flow rate (MFR) or melt volume-flow rate (MVR) is the outcome of a melt flow test. It is defined as the amount of mass or volume of a polymer that flows through a tiny die at a temperature and pressure that have been specified.
Which Melt Flow Index Tester is Right for the Growth of your Business
The MFi5 is a compact instrument that allows rapid inspection of the melt mass flow rate of plastics to Procedures A, B, and C.
Friendly-User Interface:
An intuitive touchscreen interface with large buttons walks customers through each stage of the testing process, guaranteeing that the procedures are always straightforward, reliable, and error-free.
High Performance Piston Travel Transducer
Used to calculate the extrusion rate in cubic centimeters per 10 min (MVR), it automatically measures the distance and time for the piston movement
Effective Management of High Flow Materials
The die plug system effectively blocks the die exit and prevents drool of molten material while the automatic opening allows rapid removal prior to initiation of the test
Effective Automatic Cutter
Get accurate results when performing method A tests with our motorized cutter. Cutting time repeatability is within 0.01 s
Test Masses
Easy to handle, each Test Mass is certified and compliant to ISO and ASTM Testing Standards
Manage Multiple Testers
With Bluehill Melt software, Lab Manager can easily create and distribute Methods towards several different Instron Melt Flow Testers
The MFi7 is a modular instrument for a growing volume of Procedure A, B, and C tests, featuring advantages attributed to automation.
Melt Flow Index Tester Maintenance: Top Tips to Optimize your Test Repeatability and Accuracy
In order to produce findings that are consistent and accurate over time, a melt flow index tester needs to have routine maintenance performed on it. Here are four top suggestions for maintaining an Instron melt flow tester in order to maximize its uptime and efficiency.
1. CLEAN REGULARLY AND THOROUGHLY
2. KEEP ONE STEP AHEAD OF FAULTS
3. Opting for a melt flow tester with an integrated cleaning device
4. Identifying a reference material can help monitor the consistency and accuracy of results over time
