Zwick is pleased to announce its new Melt Indexer with an advanced heating system and many new and improved features for the measurement of melt flow rate (MFR) or melt volume rate (MVR) in quality control and research applications. The innovative heating and temperature control system achieves much better temperature accuracy and stability than existing products.
The melt-flow test is carried out according to ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238.
Both test methods offer two variations of the standard melt-flow test: Method A and Method B. Method A requires relatively simple test lines Method B is much easier. Zwick’s new melt indexer can be used to perform both tests.
The complete system includes a PC and Zwick's professional software testXpert® II, which enables control parameter setting and results administration to be carried out with ease. Up to 6 plastometers can be connected to one PC via USB.The Mflow Plastometer can also be used for testing without a PC, if required.
