Get The Rate Of Flow Of Plastics With Determination Of The Melt Mass-Flow Rate

The determinationof the melt mass flow rate is essential to evaluate the flow properties of the molten plastics or resins. The rate of flow of molten resins is measured in a jet of a specific length and diameter. The test is performed to determine the melt flow volume and flow rate of thermoplastic materials. All the standard terms of temperature and pressure are provided as per the ASTM standards. The MFI calculation is based on the formula. The MFI of resins, granules and thermoplastics are calculated as the rate of flow of plastics in gram per ten minutes flowing out from a jet of appropriate length and diameter.

The test is performed under some standard conditions of load and temperature. The mass flow is expressed in gram per 10 minutes. The volume of flow is expressed in centimeter cube per 10 min that is multiplied by the density of the material in the melted form.
Melt Flow Index (in Grams) is equal to Weight of Melted Specimen in Ten Minutes
The testing equipment is used for different industries such as flexible packaging, injection molding, blow molding, plastic barrel, rigid plastics, stretch blown, pipes, plastic rope, compound (resin), food & beverages, and for woven sack and raffia tapes.

An Efficient Formula for determination of the melt mass-flow rate


The premium quality of testing equipment is used to measure the flow rate of plastic resins for determination of the melt mass-flow rate. The instrument has a microprocessor based PID controller for setting the range of temperature easily from ambient to 400 Degree Celsius. The device has an accuracy of ± 0.1°C with a resolution of 0.1°C. The buzzer is provided that sounds when the task completes. The automatic sample cutter aids in error-free operation. The other accessories supplied with the tool are an orifice, spoon, piston, plumb line, spanner, material changer, tweezers, mirror, sample cutter, orifice cleaner, accessory stand and many more.

ASTM F1140 / F1140M - 13 Standard To Evaluate The Burst Strength

This ASTM F1140 / F1140M - 13 Standard test method includes the procedure to determine the minimum bursting strength of a seal used in flexible packaging. The packages are internally pressurized and are enclosed within restraining plates. The test method determines the ability of the packages to tolerate the pressurization stresses. However, stresses are not uniformly distributed in all areas of the seal. When the conditions are not strained, there is the highest pressure at the middle of the pouch and inflates the maximum diameter. The test method may not detect the weakest area.

During the test, the pressure is increased internally until package seal around the perimeter bursts open. The package is placed on restraining plates, and the dimensional stability is maintained so that stress can be applied uniformly. The test method allows to detect the weakest area of the seal and proves the pressure value required to burst open the package or sealed box.

The test method is applicable to the flexible packaging only like a pouch and is suitable for peelable seal failure.

Presto’s Bursting Strength Tester measures the strength of paper boards, corrugated boards, paper, boxes, solid fiber boards, industrial fabric, leather, etc. The hydrostatic force is applied to rupture the sample material. The pressure is used at a controlled increasing rate through a rubber diaphragm. The bursting strength evaluates the maximum weight carried by the packaging box. The instrument has significant use in paper and packaging industries to determine the quality of the material used. 

The chamber is ideal for accelerated corrosion tests and replicating or simulating the other extremely corrosive conditions and is made of using non-metallic materials.

ASTM D1776 / D1776M - 15 Standard For Conditioning And Testing



The ASTM D1776/D1776M standard practice includes the testing and conditioning of the textiles. The practice is applicable where conditioning is specified in test procedures. A standard method is provided for the materials require preconditioning when defined as prior exposure of textile to low humidity or high humidity can affect the moisture pickup.
The designation number of ASTM identifies a unique version of an ASTM standard, for example, D is for miscellaneous materials, 1776 is assigned a sequential number, M is SI units, and 15 is the year of original adoption or year of last revision (in case of a change or revision).
The conditioning and testing of textiles are performed using the conditioningchamber (or humidity chamber), preconditioning cabinet, etc. The conditioning chamber maintains the standard atmosphere for textile throughout the chamber within the tolerance given. The testing equipment must allow air circulation all over surfaces of the exposed specimen. The device must have the equipment to record the temperature and humidity of the air in the chamber. The following points must be noted:
·         If preconditioning is required, keep the samples to a relatively low moisture content in a specified atmosphere.
·         If conditioning is required, keep the samples to moisture equilibrium for testing in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles (or when required).

Conditioning Chambers complies with ASTM D1776 / D1776M - 15 Standard

Presto offers the conditioning chambers with all the latest technology that creates the designated temperature. The equipment has lowest heat ratio as it has a high quality of insulation with imported glass wool. The high-speed instant cooling is provided as the chamber has a sealed compressor unit.

The conditioning chambers are suitable for different industries such as automotive, pipes, plastics, woven sack, resins, flexible packaging, etc. The quality of fasteners, wood, ceramic, springs is tested, besides textiles.

The ASTM D1776/D1776M standard practice is currently not active. It was adopted in the year 2015. The ASTM D1776 / D1776M - 16 standard is currently active.

Quality And Strength Tests With Kraft Paper Bursting Strength Tester

The kraft paper is a packing material and is used for various purposes. In schools, we used the kraft paper for different projects. These types of papers are the durable and low-cost material used for heavy duty applications. The paper has a significant use in packaging, wrapping, and for layering. There are several types of papers used for different purposes, for example, natural recycled kraft paper, black kraft paper, colored kraft paper, white or bleached kraft paper, and printed kraft paper.
The strength and performance of paperboards, corrugated boxes, Kraft paper, solid fiberboards, filter cloth, leather, rexine, and industrial fabrics are crucial for the different industries. The Kraft Paper Bursting Strength Tester resolves all issues related to the bursting strength of the Kraft paper. The instrument tests the wide range of materials for quality, performance and strength.

Why is Kraft Paper Bursting Strength Tester a Good Equipment?

The durability of the kraft paper against external and internal factors is determined with the help of the Kraft Paper Bursting Strength Tester. The right quality of papers is essential, and the bursting test is necessary to locate the right material. The weaker or inferior quality of papers means the risk of damage. The kraft paper boxes should be of enough strength neither too weak nor too strong. The type or nature of goods determines the boxes you choose.

Kraft paper is used for many purposes; the plain brown paper is used for manufacturing the paper bags used in grocery stores. The solid construction of the bags allows it to use for all types of grocery items. Most of the grocery stores preferring the bags made from paper than plastic bags. The packed products or goods have to experience a variety of occasions such as moving around and different environmental conditions.  The safety of the products is the priority for any supplier or exporters. The better bursting strength indicates the high quality of the packaging materials.
