The MFI452B Melt Flow Indexer is a high-precision testing instrument designed to measure the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) or Melt Volume Rate (MVR) of thermoplastic materials. Ideal for quality control and research applications, this device provides accurate measurements to evaluate the viscous flow properties of thermoplastics. It is particularly useful in industries such as manufacturing, quality testing labs, scientific research institutions, and related sectors.
With a wide measurement range from 0.1g/10min to 2000g/10min, the MFI452B offers versatility across a variety of testing conditions. Its funnel-shaped die design simplifies the feeding process, while the detachable die support plate prevents blockages caused by sample accumulation. Compact and easy to clean, it includes various accessories to accommodate different test requirements.
