Melt index tester, PCE-MFI 400, PCE Instruments

The Plastometer from PCE Instruments is used for fast testing ofthe melt mass flow rate of plastics. The plastometer is suitablefor incoming inspection as well as for production monitoring.Due to the clear presentation of all relevant parameters on thedisplay, the results of the melt index test can be displayed in ashort time with the help of the plastometer. The automaticcutting function increases the reproducibility of the melt flowindex test.Stored standard plastics save the user of the plastometerconfiguration procedures. In addition to the alreadyintegrated standard plastics, the test temperatures and testweights according to the standard (ISO 1133) are stored in theplastometer. Plastics with material-specific parameters that arenot stored can be permanently added and saved in theplastometer as required.The plastometer is therefore very well suited for determining themelt flow index rate, which provides information about the flowbehaviour or viscosity of plastics at different temperatures andpressures. During this melt flow index test according to ISO 1133,the plastic granulate sample is placed in a preheated cylinder. Inthe cylinder, the granulate is heated at a material-specifictemperature.
