Melt Flow Index (MFI) System
The Melt Flow Index (MFI) tests are conducted to characterize the melt flow of plastic raw materials, products, and recycled granules in compliance with TS EN ISO 1133 and ASTM D 1238 standards. The system simulates the behavior of polymer products or raw materials in the melt phase, offering precision, modularity, and ease of use for various testing needs.
Models
- AL MFI-A
- AL MFI-A-B
- AL MFI-A-B-O
Key Features
- Double-Compartment Heating System: Independent temperature control in both compartments ensures equivalence in heat distribution.
- User-Friendly Interface: High precision with easier use, featuring a functional touch screen interface.
- Automated Cutter: Adjustable cutting time for precise measurements.
- Stable Structure: Rigid, solid, and stable construction.
- High Precision: Ground tungsten carbide core (titanium plated) for accurate measurements.
- Automated Calculation and Reporting: Software for MFI MVR test.
- Modular Structure: AL MFI A, AL MFI A-B, and AL MFI A-B-O instruments are convertible to each other.
