MFI 1312 with Touch Screen Control - Melt Flow Indexer

---

 

The MFI 1312 Touchscreen Melt Flow Index Tester is a precision instrument designed for the rheological characterization of thermoplastic polymers. Unlike basic models, this unit incorporates a microprocessor-controlled system that manages the entire testing cycle, from cylinder preheating to final result calculation, ensuring strict compliance with ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 standards.

 

Its intuitive touchscreen interface allows the operator to select between Method A (Gravimetric), ideal for standard materials using automatic extrudate cutting, and Method B (Volumetric), which utilizes a high-resolution displacement sensor to measure the flow behavior of highly fluid materials without manual intervention.

 

The instrument automatically processes melt density data to convert MVR (Melt Volume Rate) into MFR (Melt Flow Rate), eliminating manual calculation errors and enabling the export of detailed test reports to a PC through dedicated software.

 

Technical Specifications

• High-Stability Temperature Control: Dual-zone heating system that maintains uniform temperature throughout the cylinder with an accuracy of ±0.2°C.
• Displacement Detection: Integrated optical encoder for precise volumetric measurements in Method B.
• Automatic Cutting System: Motorized cutting blade programmable by time or position for maximum repeatability during sample weighing.
• Data Management: Internal memory for result storage and communication port for traceability in industrial quality control processes.
• High-Durability Materials: Cylinder, piston, and die manufactured from hardened alloys to withstand the abrasive wear of filled and reinforced polymers.

 

Benefits

• Fully compliant with ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238.
• Supports both gravimetric and volumetric testing methods.
• Automatic MVR-to-MFR conversion.
• Enhanced repeatability and operator-independent measurements.
• Integrated data storage and reporting capabilities.
• Designed for quality control, research, and production environments.
