The latest addition to the Tinius Olsen polymer testing line is the MP1500 Melt Flow Indexer. The tester features the latest in melt flow measurement technology where load is applied by a loadcell via a drive system with a PID control feedback, there are no dead weights. This robust design incorporates quality materials and components and ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained. The MP1500 becomes a complete powerful test system with the addition of Tinius Olsen’s Horizon Data Analysis software.

Interface

This unit features a color touch-screen LCD display. Operators can configure the options available for the machine and program user settings (language, units, alarms, etc). Individual test protocols can be set and stored for rapid recall when needed and can be used to control the machine by itself or in conjunction with Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software.

Test Type
Melt Index,
Melt Flow Rate,
Melt Volume Rate

Standards
ASTM D1238,
ISO 1133

The MP1200 melt flow tester/extrusion plastometer features the latest in melt flow measurement technology and allows operators to quickly and easily set up and perform melt flow tests according to ASTM D1238, ISO 1133-1 & 2 and other international and industrial specifications.

 

The MP1200 is available in two distinct versions: the manual MP1200 and the motorized MP1200M. The manual MP1200 comes with everything you need – except weights and laboratory balance – to perform an ASTM D1238 Procedure A (manual cut) gravimetric melt flow rate (MFR). Test loads are applied manually.

 

The MP1200 can be upgraded with optional features, including ISO 1133 tools and an encoder-based programmable piston displacement transducer (PPDT), for testing according to Procedures B & C (ASTM D1238) or for volume measurement tests (melt volume rate or MVR) and melt density calculations.

 

Also available as options are Tinius Olsen’s manual and automatic specimen cutting tool attachments, which can be used with some materials to reduce the human involvement with the machine during the test and increase accuracy and repeatability of test results.
