MP 1500 Melt Flow Indexer

Tinius Olsen is proud to introduce the latest addition to its polymer testing line, the MP1500 Closed Loop Melt Flow Tester. The tester features the latest in melt flow measurement technology which works with a closed loop where the load is applied by a motor and ball screw system with PID control feedback, there are no dead weights. The robust design that incorporates quality materials and components ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained. Test machines become complete, powerful test systems with the addition of Tinius Olsen’s Horizon Data Analysis software.
