A Melt Flow Index (MFI) tester is an essential instrument used to measure the flow characteristics of thermoplastics at elevated temperatures. This testing device determines the melt flow rate, which indicates how easily a polymer can be processed during manufacturing. By applying a specific load to a sample, the MFI tester evaluates the amount of material that flows through a capillary in a set time period. Results from MFI tests help manufacturers assess polymer consistency, predict processing behavior, and ensure product quality. Industries such as plastics, packaging, and automotive rely on MFI testing to optimize material selection and enhance production efficiency.
