Melt Flow Indexer

Introducing a brand new range of materials testing equipment from Orion-PTS. Melt Flow Index is one of the most widely used parameters for the quality

control of polymers and is the mass flow rate (g/10min) of a molten polymer at controlled conditions of temperature and pressure, extruded through a very precise orifice. The MFi30 instrument offered by Orion PTS has a dedicated microprocessor and 7” touch screen interface and conforms to Methods A,B, & C (Method D, FRR with the addition of the weight loader) of International Test standards. Extruded samples can be cut by the integrated Auto Cut Device at set time intervals for accurate and repeatable sample weights and a 10k PPR rotary encoder is fitted which accurately measures the piston displacement for method B,C and D testing. MFR and MVR test results are calculated easily by using the materials Density at Test Temperature value. Test results are automatically displayed on the touch screen display and can be downloaded into the dedicated LABLogic+ software platform supplied with the instrument. The apparatus can quickly calculate MFR, MVR, Viscosity, Shear Stress, Shear rate and Intrinsic Vis-cosity amongst others. High and low test values can be input for internal QA/QC and multi-slicing values give real time graph analysis and tabular results of the material under test so no physical cutting of the material needs to be done, and Stored Test Parameters can easily be recalled from memory for easy test setup.


Supplied as standard the Orion-PTS MFi30 comes complete with tooling to get you started from switch on including a standard discharge piston, test die and 2.16kg test load. To compliment the instrument a standard cleaning kit is supplied which includes cleaning rod, test die cleaning tool, cotton cleaning cloth and wire bristled brush. The die go/no-go gauge is also supplied to keep check on the die size and a graduated filling cylinder.


Options for the apparatus include, Pneumatic weight loader and Hastelloy barrel, piston and test die for test corrosive materials such as PVC, Test loads from 1.0kg to 21.6kg and replaceable cut off blades.


The apparatus conforms to ASTM D3364, ASTM D1238, ISO 1133, DIN 53735 amongst others.


The apparatus can be supplied in either 110-120v 60 Hz and 220-240v 50 Hz.
