The MP1500 melt flow indexer with a loadcell system is used for determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of thermoplastics according to ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133.

The MP1500 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 and 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.
