LS-MFI450 Automatic Melt Flow Indexer (MFR/MVR) ISO 1133-1, ISO 1133-2, ASTM D1238

MFR and MVR in One Platform

Mass and volume methods support incoming-material checks, production comparisons, and density-based conversion from one controlled test station.

Stable 450°C Temperature Control

PID control and high-resolution sampling support rapid recovery after charging and repeatable method temperatures across common pipe compounds and engineering plastics.

Automatic Timing and Cutting

Programmable timing, cutting, piston travel, calculation, storage, and result output reduce manual transcription and improve routine throughput.

Method-Configured Load Set

Weights, die condition, preheat time, cut interval, and evaluation range are confirmed against the polymer grade and selected ISO or ASTM condition.
