Product catalog summary
Overview
TMI's Melt Flow Indexer is a cost-effective tabletop instrument designed to test the melt flow resistance (MFR) of various thermoplastics. It adheres to both national and international standards, including BS EN ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238, and offers precise temperature control between 120°C and 450°C (248°F to 842°F).
Key Features
  • High Accuracy: The microprocessor ensures temperature control within ±0.2°C (±0.4°F) and features a rapid ramp-up to the set point.
  • Automatic Cut-Off: The built-in scraper mechanism automatically cuts off extruded material at preset intervals, controllable to ±0.01 seconds.
  • User-Friendly Interface: A clear multi-line LCD display and tactile-feedback membrane keypad facilitate quick and accurate input of test parameters, with continuous display during testing.
  • Out-of-the-Box Operation: The device comes with all necessary accessories and weights, requiring no additional purchases for operation.

melt flow indexer (MFI) for thermoplastics -1

Testing melt flow resistance has never been so economical or easy to do! The Melt Flow Indexer is supplied complete with spare barrel and die, plus all the accessories and weights necessary for maintenance and operation. Nothing else to buyjust plug it in and start testing! TMIגs Melt Flow Indexer is a NEW and AFFORDABLE tabletop instrument that tests the melt flow resis- tance (MFR) of a wide range of thermoplastics. The tester conforms to all National and International melt flow resistance standards, including BS EN ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238. Any temperature within 120C-450аC (248F-842аF) can be accurately controlled. > Built-in microprocessor maintains temperature control to within ձ0.2C (ڱ0.4F), with rapid ramp-up to set point. ڕ Temperature fluctuation is 1% of set temperature. ѕ Extruded material automatically cut-off by built-in scraper mechanism at preset intervals, controllable to 0.01 seconds. ѕ Clear multi-line LCD display and tactile-feedback membrane keypad allow fast, accurate input of test parameters and provide continuous display of settings during testing. The user-friendly Melt Flow Indexer combines the high accuracy and precision essential for quality control and R&D. > The built-in microprocessor maintains temperature control to within 0.2ѰC (0.4ѰF), with rapid ramp-up to set point.
