Melt Flow Indexer- A Valuable Tool
The Melt Flow Indexer is one of the most advanced
devices available that is for the measurement of
the melt characteristics of the thermoplastic
polymers, melt-flow- indexer. To understand the
melt flow, it is a key indicator for the
producers, converters, and processors of plastic
materials as it commands the pressures and
temperatures required to manufacture the top and
consistent quality products. The real barrel
temperature can be measured using melt flow
indexer to ensure that every examination is
performed with the complete compliance full test
documentation.
It performs different types of tests such as
MFI/MFR, Melt Density, Melt Volume Rate, Melts
Viscosity, Shear
Stress/Rate, and Spread values.

The sample that is going to be tested should be
meltable so as to be evaluated using the Melt
Flow Indexer instrument. For charging the
instrument with the given sample, it has to have
a particle size which is on the order of approx.
3-mm or less than that, so that it can be laden
into the instruments barrel portion. So, the
typical plastic pellets are a suitable particle
size. The test involves plastic mass weighing
that flows from the MFI over a time period. Some
polymer samples have extreme high flow rates that
the melt flow indexer method in those cases must
be an automated system to find out reliable
results. The thermoplastic resources can be
calculated using the melt flow indexer method of
analysis. Some of the examples of materials which
are evaluated including Polypropylene, Polyamide
(nylon), Polyethylene, Polyester, Polycarbonate,
Polystyrene, and Other Polyolefin etc. The
rates of Melt Flow are completely based on
additives, molecular weight, along with other
constituents. The original value of the
instrument allows for direct comparison of the
materials to each other is really a valuable
tool for the quality assurance.
