Melt Flow Index Tester
The Melt Flow Index Tester (Model: VE-MFI-A-AC) is a high-precision laboratory instrument designed to determine the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) of thermoplastic materials as per ASTM D1238 ("A" Method) and ISO 1133 standards. Featuring a full digital system with a microcontroller-based PID temperature controller, this machine provides accurate and repeatable results. It is an essential tool for plastic manufacturers and quality control labs to evaluate the flow properties of resins and polymers under specific temperature and load conditions.
Product Overview
This advanced MFI Tester offers a seamless testing experience with a range of ambient to 400°C, controlled by a high-accuracy Class "A" PT-100 sensor. The instrument eliminates the need for manual calculations by providing auto-calculated reports in terms of MFR through its intuitive digital interface. Equipped with a motorized sample cutter and a position-controlled device, it ensures precise cutting intervals. With the ability to store up to ten re-writable programs, users can easily switch between different material specifications, making it a versatile and efficient solution for high-volume industrial testing.
