Melt Index testing equipment
The manual MP1200 comes with everything you need (except weights & laboratory balance) to perform an ASTM D1238 Procedure A (manual cut) melt flow index tests (MFR). Test loads are applied manually. The MP1200 can be upgraded with optional features including ISO 1133 tools and an encoder based programmable piston displacement transducer, or PPDT for short, for testing according to Procedures B & C (ASTM D1238) or for volume measurement tests (MVR)and melt density calculations.
The MP1200 features the latest in melt flow measurement technology and allow operators to quickly and easily set up and perform melt flow test according to ASTM D1238, ISO 1133-1 &2 and other international and industrial specifications. The MP1200 is available in 2 distinct versions, a manual version, model MP1200, and a motorized version, model MP1200M. |

On display this month at NPE2012 in Orlando is the new MP1200 extrusion plastometer from Tinius Olsen, Horsham, Pa.
The MFI test is used widely among the various segments of the plastics industry. The difficulty is that any two labs can easily come up with different results, making it difficult to determine whether a material meets a desired MFI spec. Here are some reasons why such discrepancies occur and what can be done about them.
From polymer characterization to on-line bottle or preform inspection, coordinate measuring, and color sensing, new testing and measuring instruments at the NPE show in Chicago were easier to use and more compact, yet often packed higher performance than earlier versions—and sometimes with a more attractive price tag.
Thermal and mechanical testers, color and appearance sensors, vision inspection devices and CMMs—the NPE had them all in more compact, economical, and easy-to-use models.
More processors today are buyingso-called ‘universal’ testers to measure tensile, flexural, compressive, and shear properties for materials evaluation, application development, and quality control. Advanced electronics have improved these instruments’ performance and ease of use—and even led to lower prices.
The huge triennial plastics exhibition in June showcased new developments in product inspection and lab instruments for testing mechanical properties, melt rheology, weatherability, color, and appearance.If you are looking to outfit a new lab or upgrade an existing one, the NPE 2000 show in Chicago this past June spotlighted many new instruments for use in product development, material evaluation, and quality control.
There was no shortage of new developments in product inspection devices and instruments for testing color and appearance as well as mechanical, rheological, thermal, and weathering properties.
Impact testing is a complex and controversial subject, and one that is in the midst of change. These factors add challenge to selection of the most appropriate impact instrument for a processor's lab.
