Melt Flow Indexer MFI-10 1 The Davenport MFI-10 melt flow indexer is used to determine the melt flow rate of a polymer by extruding it in a molten state through a calibrated die using a reference weight. The MFI-10 is an intelligent, modular system, which offers flexibility of testing and increased automation. The main base unit can be configured for either manual or fully automatic testing. For those who use the same machine for a given test, a standard test set up may be saved and password protected. Those doing several different tests may save up to 10 set ups and recall them by name. Operators need not be experienced. The backlit LCD gives written instructions at each step with audible prompts at the correct time and results calculated and displayed at the end of the test. Busy laboratories will save time and improve health and safety by automating the whole process with the addition of the optional displacement transducer and auto weight loading device. NEXYGEN™ Analysis Software NEXYGEN software for the MFI-10 is both easy to use and extremely flexible even for operators having little computer knowledge. The standard program comprises the analysis engine, test graph, results table and batch statistics, test setup editor, and the facility to incorporate results with other Microsoft Windows™ 95/98/2000/NT/XP compliant packages. The MFI-10 categorically outclasses competition for accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of results.
