Melt Flow Index Tester (Gravimetric Method)

The MFI-500/AP is a plastometer for determining the melt flow index of thermoplastic materials using the gravimetric method. It’s prepared to work with corrosive materials such as PVC, with automatic sample cutting to improve cut-off accuracy.

Key Features

  • Gravimetric method.
  • Automatic sample cutting.
  • PID temperature controller (maintaining ±0.1°C).
  • Prepared for corrosive materials such as PVC.
  • CE marked.
  • All working and cleaning tools included, plus standard piston and nozzle.

Applications

Ideal for determining thermoplastic flow behaviour and viscosity in quality control laboratories, particularly where corrosive materials such as PVC are part of the testing programme.

Note: to calculate the flow index using the gravimetric method, the extruded material must be weighed with a resolution of 0.001g — a precision balance is recommended.
