A flow rate test is used to work out the melt flow rate (MFR) of a thermoplastic material. According to ASTM 1238, “Method A” test involves the collection of extrudate from the die over a set period ...

The flow rate of a polymer is inversely proportional to its viscosity. High-viscosity materials flow with greater resistance and therefore more gradually under any specific set of conditions compared ...

The TruFlow meter is a simple, positive-displacement meter that accurately, consistently measures actual material flow rates. The versatile meter operates across a broad flow range, 10-500 cc’s per ...
