Melt Flow Indexer
Melt Flow Indexer Series enables the operator to estimate the mean molecular weight and at the same time gives an indication of melt flow ability through the die.
Both Melt flow rate and Melt volume rate can be determined through a calibrated die under the effect of a pre-determined force, at constant temperature and for the total time of 10 minutes. The instrument is equipped with special features like movable oven for easy cleaning and inspection; Automatic application of selected load; Piston displacement monitored by encoder; Software for result acquisition, storing and exporting whenever necessary.
The instrument is with a wide color touch screen for a simple and fast input of the test parameter, visualization of test execution and final results. The results can be connected to a PC through an RS232 port for direct acquisition of the test parameters and test results which can be saved or exported with the help of the software.
The multi weight testing allows for calculation of the following results to indicate the rheological properties of the material:
• MFR ratio with different weights
• Shear Stress
• Shear rate
• Apparent Viscosity
• MFR vs Time
• MVR vs Time
