What is a Melt Flow Index Tester?
A Melt Flow Index Tester (MFI Tester) measures how much a melted plastic flows through a standardized die under a specific temperature and weight over a 10-minute period. This result, expressed in grams per 10 minutes (g/10 min), helps determine key characteristics such as:
- Viscosity
- Molecular weight
- Processing suitability
These values directly affect how materials perform during molding, extrusion, and other manufacturing processes.
Why is Melt Flow Testing Crucial?
In polymer production, minor material differences can lead to major product issues. With MFI testing, manufacturers can:
- ? Detect inconsistencies in raw material batches
- ⚙️ Optimize processing parameters
- ? Maintain product uniformity
- ✅ Comply with standards like ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133
