FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Melt Flow Index Tester?
A Melt Flow Index Tester is a laboratory instrument used to determine the melt flow rate (MFR) or melt volume rate (MVR) of thermoplastic materials under controlled temperature and load conditions.
MFI testing evaluates the flow properties of molten plastics, helping manufacturers assess material quality, consistency, and suitability for various processing methods.
It is commonly used in plastics, polymer manufacturing, packaging, automotive, medical, chemical, and research laboratories.
The instrument is suitable for thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), ABS, PVC, PET, and other polymer compounds.
Most Melt Flow Index Testers are designed to comply with ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133 standards.
Depending on the model, the temperature range typically extends from ambient to 450°C with high accuracy.
