Melt Flow tester MF50
The Instron® CEAST MF50 multiweight Melt Flow Tester performs melt index tests according to MFR and MVR procedures that fully comply with ASTM D1238 procedures A, B, C, D, and ISO 1133 A and B, for single weight and multiple weight determinations in one test. Multiple weight tests can include up to 5 masses in any sequence, either increasing, decreasing or random weights, with fully customizable preheating and measurement steps. All masses are pre-installed and managed by the machine without operator intervention, reducing all safety concerns. A high-resolution direct-contact encoder measures piston displacement and maintains a stable and precise temperature profile in the barrel. Additional advanced features include a large touch-screen display for full test programming, management and diagnostic functions, with an embedded PC based on Windows CE, able to store full set of parameters and test results that can then easily be exported through USB or through direct Ethernet connection. The tilting barrel ensures easy cleaning and inspection, and compacting and purging functions can be supported by a unique load cell feature – up to 750 N load. Automatic melt cutting and barell cleaning accessories are also available.
