The basic version of the Mflow extrusion plastometers can be used to determine melt mass flow rates (MFR).

It features a modular design, and use of the piston displacement transducer expands the Mflow’s capabilities to include determination of melt volume flow rate (MVR), as well as automatic, field-dependent parameterization. These extrusion plastometers are typically used for quality assurance and incoming goods inspections.

Application Description

As the volume of testing increases, so does the need for a greater degree of automation (compared to Cflow). Mflow is capable of modular expansion and can be used to determine melt mass flow rate and melt volume flow rate.

The basic version of the Mflow extrusion plastometer is designed to perform MFR tests in accordance with Method A and can be upgraded for MVR tests as per Method B. Tests to the following standards are possible:

• Methods A and B, ISO 1133
• Methods A, B and C, ASTM D1238
• ASTM D3364
• JIS K 7210

You can optionally upgrade Mflow, for example by adding the pneumatic weight-lifting unit with or without cleaning function, or the weight selector.

Mflow can be operated in stand-alone mode via a modern touch display or on a PC with ZwickRoell testing software.
