About Instrument and its Applications:
The Melt Flow Index Test measures the rate of extrusion of a Thermoplastic material through orifice of Specific Length and Diameter under prescribed conditions of temperature and pressure.
General Information-
Make - Dynisco
Model – LMI 4000
Year of Installation - 2012
Applications-
Melt Flow Indexer is used to measure the flow rate of different polymers. The reported Melt Index values helps to distinguish between the different Grades of Polymers. This is due to the fact that plastic materials are seldom manufactured without incorporating additives, which affect the processing characteristics of material like stability and flowability.
Measurement Modes:
Sample Requirements-
For Solid Samples:- Only Solid type samples
