Melt Flow Tester - Melt Flow Indexer - MFI

Standards

Melt Flow Indexers, also known as Melt Flow Testers or MFI Testers are used to measure the melt mass-flow rate (MFR), melt volume-flow rate (MVR), as well as Melt density of a wide range of thermoplastic raw materials, polycarbonate, fluoroplastics, as well as polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, POM etc.

Standards Supported

Qualitest MFI systems are designed to comply with international standards widely referenced by laboratories and manufacturers in Brazil, including:

  • ASTM D1238 – Melt Flow Rate of Thermoplastics

  • ISO 1133 – Determination of melt mass-flow rate and melt volume-flow rate

Compliance with these standards ensures reliable comparison of test results across production sites and supply chains.
