Product catalog summary
Overview: The Davenport MFI-10 Melt Flow Indexer is designed to measure the melt flow rate of polymers by extruding them in a molten state through a calibrated die. It offers both manual and automatic testing options, with the ability to save and recall up to 10 test setups. The device is user-friendly, featuring a backlit LCD with step-by-step instructions and audible prompts.
Key Features:
  • Calculates melt flow index (MFI), melt flow rate (MFR), melt volume rate (MVR), and melt density/viscosity.
  • Complies with international standards such as BS 2782 Part 7: Method 720A, ISO 1133, and ASTM D1238 Methods A and B.
  • Temperature range from 40°C to 400°C with ±0.1°C accuracy.
  • Robust construction with corrosion-resistant materials for testing corrosive and abrasive materials.
  • Automated options available for busy laboratories to enhance efficiency and safety.
Specifications:
  • Temperature Controller: ±0.1°C accuracy.
  • Warm Up Time: 10 minutes from 23°C to 190°C.
  • Electrical Supply: 230V or 115V with specific fuse requirements.
  • Standard Loads: Various calibrated weights ranging from 0.325 g to 21.6 kg.
  • Net Weight: 32 kg.
Accessories:
  • Standard accessories include thermometers, test weights, and various tools for maintenance and operation.
  • Optional accessories such as auto cut-off devices, auto flow rate timers, and auto weight loaders are available.
Software: The NEXYGEN™ Analysis Software is compatible with various Windows operating systems and provides an analysis engine, test graph, results table, and batch statistics. It is designed to be user-friendly even for operators with limited computer skills.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for AMETEK offices in the UK, USA, Far East, France, and Germany for further inquiries and support.

Melt flow indexers-1

NEXYGENNEXYGEN Analysis SoftwareAnalysis Software The Davenport melt flow indexer is used todetermine the melt flow rate of a polymer byextruding it in a molten state through a calibrated die using a reference weight. The MFI-10 is anintelligent, modular system which offers flexibility oftesting and increased automation. The main baseunit can be configured for either manual or fullyautomatic testing. For those who use the same machine for a giventest, a standard test set up may be saved andpassword protected. Those doing several differenttests may save up to 10 set ups and recall them by name. Operators need not be experienced. Thebacklit LCD gives written instructions at each stepwith audible prompts at the correct time and resultscalculated and displayed at the end of the test. Busy laboratories will save time and improve healthand safety by automating the whole process with theaddition of the optional displacement transducer and auto weight loading device. NEXYGEN software for the MFI-10 is both easy touse and extremely flexible even for operators having little computer knowledge. The standard programcomprises the analysis engine, test graph, resultstable and batch statistics, test setup editor, and thefacility to incorporate results with other MicrosoftWindowsٙ 95/98/2000/NT/XP compliant packages. The MFI-10 categorically outclasses competition foraccuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of results. > ?
