Melt Flow Index Tester


As Per ASTM D1238 & ISO 1133

Reference Standards: ASTM, ISO, IS, DIN

The melt flow index (MFI) tester is a common instrument used in plastic testing laboratories to measure the flow properties of plastic materials. Here are some specific applications of the MFI tester:

Quality Control:

The MFI tester is used to ensure the quality of plastic materials used in manufacturing processes. This test helps to verify that the material meets the specified performance requirements and can flow properly during processing.

Material Selection:

The MFI tester helps engineers to select the most suitable plastic material for a particular application based on its flow properties. This is especially important in applications where the plastic must flow through a complex mold or extrusion die.

Process Optimization:

The MFI tester is used to optimize plastic processing parameters, such as temperature and pressure, to achieve the desired flow properties. This can help to reduce production costs and improve product quality.

Product Development:

The MFI tester is used in the development of new plastic materials. By measuring the flow properties of different materials, engineers can select the best material for a particular application and design products that meet specific performance requirements.

Research and Development:

The MFI tester is also used in research and development of plastic materials. By measuring the flow properties, researchers can study the effect of different variables on the material's properties and develop new materials with improved flow properties and performance.

Overall, the MFI tester is an important tool in plastic testing laboratories, helping to ensure the quality, performance, and safety of plastic materials used in various applications.
