The Hanatek MFI is one of the most advanced instruments available for the measurement the melt characteristics of thermoplastic polymers.
Actual barrel temperature can be measured to ensure that every test is performed with complete compliance to ASTM D1238 (2011) Part A, B or C and ISO 11133 (2011) with automatic calculation of test results.
User interchangeable barrel core reduces service costs whilst the optional UKAS / ISO 17025 calibration kit provides user serviceability while maintaining certification.
