How to level melt flow index tester accurately?

Testing the melt flow rate of polymers is an important part of quality control that will help you to determine the flow properties of molten plastics with ease. The melt flow index tester will accurately evaluate the index of plastic materials and assess their quality. Thus, with the use of the Testronix melt flow index tester, you can easily assess the behavior of molten plastics and ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with information about melt flow index tester for granules and how you can level this lab testing equipment easily.

Introduction about melt flow index tester

The physical qualities of polymers, such as hardness, stiffness, durability, and flexibility, are determined by melt flow index rates. The greater the melt flow index rate of a polymer, the better its mechanical strength performance. The melt flow rate is critical since it determines how the extrusion process will proceed. Testronix offers one of the highly accurate lab testing instruments known as the melt flow index tester that will be helpful in analyzing the melt flow rate of thermoplastic materials with ease. We at Testronix believe to deliver accurate testing instruments that are in compliance with industry standards including ASTM D 1238, IS 2267, IS-2530, and IS 10810. Whenever you conduct the test using the Testronix melt flow index tester then you need to take care of some tips to get accurate melt flow testing results.

Thus, you will always get accurate testing results of the materials being tested at a certain temperature. Below we have discussed the features and technical specifications of this lab testing equipment.

Steps to level the melt flow index tester accurately

We all know leveling the machine accurately is an essential part that makes it really necessary for you to get accurate testing results. Thus, we have come up with some easy steps to level the MFI tester accurately.

The plumb line that will be provided with the machine will make it easy for you to check whether it is perfectly levelled or not.
You can then take out the orifice die from the machine and insert the plumb line inside the barrel.
After that, you can keep a check on the perpendicularity of the machine to the ground. This means that the machine is perfectly leveled.
If you notice any slight deflection in the machine perpendicularity then this means that the machine will need leveling.
You can also level the machine by aligning the footrest.

In this way, you can easily level the melt flow index tester machine accurately.
