Rheology Systems - Melt Flow Testers CEAST MF20 and MF30

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the CEAST MF20 and MF30 Melt Flow Testers by Instron, designed for measuring the flow properties of thermoplastic materials under temperature and pressure. These testers comply with ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 standards.
Specifications: The MF20 and MF30 models are single-weight systems suitable for various testing procedures. The MF20 is a basic model with optional features, while the MF30 includes a high-resolution digital encoder and a controlled weight lifter. Both models operate within a temperature range of 30°C to 400°C (86°F to 752°F) and maintain high temperature accuracy and stability.
Features: Key features include ergonomic design, high-temperature accuracy, easy-to-use interface, and a wide range of test masses. The MF30 offers additional features like a load cell for controlled material compacting and purging, which is not available in the MF20.
Options and Accessories: Both models can be equipped with a Manual Mass Selector, melt cutting devices, and other options like a nitrogen blanket device for hygroscopic materials and an acid-resistant version for chemically aggressive materials. The MF30 includes a quick and accurate lifter for automatic test mass application.
Benefits: The testers provide easy and safe testing, service, and maintenance. They offer modularity for system upgrades and are designed for a wide range of materials, from fast-flowing masterbatches to highly viscous materials.
Dimensions and Power: The MF20 and MF30 have specific dimensions and weights, with the MF30 being slightly larger and heavier. Both require an electrical supply of 115 or 230 V and consume a maximum of 1000 W.
