The two main MFI test standards are ASTM D1238 - “Standard Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer” and ISO1133 – “Determination of the Melt Mass-Flow Rate (MFR) and ...
Among the first instruments plastics molders, extruders, and compounders are likely to consider when outfitting a new lab is a melt-flow indexer or “melt indexer.” Known as an extrusion plastometer in ...
The Engineer: Advanced Melt Flow Indexer Features Breakdown | MP1500 Tinius Olsen
This one-minute video highlights the key features of the loadcell-based MP1500 Melt Flow Indexer, the latest addition to the Tinus Olsen plastics and polymer testing line. Discover the next generation ...
Nature: Permeability of asthenospheric mantle and melt extraction rates at mid-ocean ridges
The presence of melt in the mantle below mid-ocean ridges (MORs) has been demonstrated using magnetotelluric and seismic reflection sensing 8, the latter suggesting a minimum of 1–2 vol.% melt. Simple ...
Tinius Olsen is offering a new advanced melt indexer, as well as new software for data acquisition and closed-loop control of universal testing machines that have a compatible servo system or ...

Using Rheology to Differentiate the Flow Behavior of Three Linear Low-density Polyethylene Samples
AZOM: Rheology of Thermoplastic Melts-Determination of Rheological Properties Using Rotational and Capillary Rheometers
Rheology is the science of studying the flow and deformation of materials rooted in the laws of elasticity and viscosity proposed by Hooke and Newton in the late 17 th Century. Thermoplastic polymer ...
