Description
Melt Flow Tester
The Melt Flow Tester GTX-YB8 consists of a heated extruder tube through which the material under test is extruded. A removable jet is provided for extrusion, along with a piston and dead weights to apply the specified pressure to the material inside the extruder tube.
The extruder tube is made of hardened die steel. A PID type digital temperature indicator cum controller is provided to indicate and control the temperature of the tube.
A cylindrical cavity is provided in the extruder tube for placing the test charge during the test.
Working Components
The Melt Flow Tester consists of:
- Heated extruder tube
- Removable jet
- Piston
- Specified dead weights
- PID type digital temperature indicator cum controller
- Cylindrical cavity for placing the test charge
The material is placed in the cylindrical cavity of the heated extruder tube. The piston and specified weight are used to apply pressure to the material, which is then extruded through the removable jet.
