Melt Flow Index Tester for ASTM D1238
Product Overview
Model: KFY-1160X
KFY-1160X MFI series melt flow indexers are designed to meet or exceed the ASTM D1238 specifications as well as international standards. They provide an accurate, cost- effective means of monitoring material flow characteristics for lot-to-lot consistency. The KFY-1160X LMI replaces the KFY-1160 series.
Industrial standards:
- ASTM D1238 & D3364
- ISO 1133
- BS2782
- DIN 53735
- JIS K7210
Note: The KFY-1160X LMI is capable of performing Method A testing only. It cannot be upgraded for Methods A/B or B testing.
Features and Benefits
Touch-Screen Display: Replacing the 2-line vacuum fluorescent display, the larger, backlit touch-screen allows for easier programming and viewing of testing status and results.
Digital Encoder: An optional digital encoder provides an accurate measurement of piston displacement during Method B tests. By detecting the speed of encoder movement, the LMI can automatically determine flag length.
USB Connectivity: With 3 USB ports, users can connect to devices for networking, printing, weigh scale measurements and data storage capability.
LAVA Suite Software: The MFI is capable of delivering a wider range of data in digital form. This includes not only melt index values, but also shear stress, shear rate, viscosity and apparent melt density, as well as testing conditions. Optional software makes it possible to record these values and present them in various reports.
