Melt flow testing improves accuracy and repeatability.


Melt flow indexers, or melt indexers, are used to determine the melt flow rate (MFR MFR,

 the company. It also is said to have many uses in quality control environments.

The company's melt indexer features an advanced heating system and many new and improved features for the measurement of melt flow rate or melt volume rate in quality control and research applications. The heating and temperature control system is said to achieve much better temperature accuracy and stability than existing products.

The melt flow test is carried out according to ISO (1) See ISO speed.

Both test methods are technically equivalent, but the way the test is run is different, and this can lead to different results, according to the company. The Mflow plastometer can automatically detect the most suitable parameters for MVR MVR

Both test methods are said to offer variations of the standard melt flow test, including Method A and Method B. Method A requires relatively simple test equipment. Method B is said to be even easier.
