MELT-INDEX
Description
- This equipment is necessary to determine the Melt Flow Rate of thermoplastic materials basing on Gravimetric Method The method requires the simplest model among line of plastometers. The heated material is extruded, cut manually at regular intervals, and weighed on an analytical balance (not included). The MFR in 10 minutes will be then calculated, as per standards.
