Model MP1500 Melt flow indexer – loadcell system

The latest addition to the Tinius Olsen polymer testing line is the MP1500 Melt Flow Indexer. The tester features the latest in melt flow measurement technology where load is applied by a loadcell via a drive system with a PID control feedback, there are no dead weights. This robust design incorporates quality materials and components and ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained. The MP1500 becomes a complete powerful test system with the addition of Tinius Olsen’s Horizon Data Analysis software.

Interface

This unit features a color touch-screen LCD display. Operators can configure the options available for the machine and program user settings (language, units, alarms, etc). Individual test protocols can be set and stored for rapid recall when needed and can be used to control the machine by itself or in conjunction with Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software.

AIM Quick Change Mold

These types of specimen tests are commonly used to determine the key properties of a material, such as tensile strength, Izod and Charpy impact strength, hardness, flammability, shrinkage and gloss/color matching.

The AIM Quick Change Mold is available in three sizes: Standard, XL and XXL. The mold base hole pattern comes in Euromap, SPI or customer-specific design.

The most common inserts include ISO A (specimen 170 x 10 x 4mm), ISO B (specimen 80 x 10 x 4mm), ISO D2 (specimen 60 x 60 x 2mm) and spiral flow.

The AIM Quick Change Mold fully complies with all the requirements for an ASTM or ISO approved injection mold, with strong emphasis being placed on greater standardisation and uniformity of specimen tests.

Wire Twister

The Tinius Olsen wire twisting machine is a benchtop system that provide the simplicity, performance and affordability needed for quality control and product testing.

The twister is designed to check the number of twists required to fracture a wire. Normally furnished as a bench unit, these machines are also available as floor models, and as multiple twisting units for simultaneously testing two, three or more samples.

The standard, variable speed, motor drive makes up to 62 twists per minute (rpm) with a maximum torsion rating of 1,500in.lbs. A counter indicates the total number of twists, and automatically stops the machine when the specimen fails.

Wire samples up to 18in long can be accomodated. An initial tensile load of up to 150lb can be applied to prevent kinking. Load is read in 2lb, increment on a scale.

Model MP1200

The MP1200 melt flow tester/extrusion plastometer features the latest in melt flow measurement technology and allows operators to quickly and easily set up and perform melt flow tests according to ASTM D1238, ISO 1133-1 & 2 and other international and industrial specifications.

The MP1200 is available in two distinct versions: the manual MP1200 and the motorized MP1200M. The manual MP1200 comes with everything you need – except weights and laboratory balance – to perform an ASTM D1238 Procedure A (manual cut) gravimetric melt flow rate (MFR). Test loads are applied manually.

The MP1200 can be upgraded with optional features, including ISO 1133 tools and an encoder-based programmable piston displacement transducer (PPDT), for testing according to Procedures B & C (ASTM D1238) or for volume measurement tests (melt volume rate or MVR) and melt density calculations.

Also available as options are Tinius Olsen’s manual and automatic specimen cutting tool attachments, which can be used with some materials to reduce the human involvement with the machine during the test and increase accuracy and repeatability of test results.

Model 50ST

The model 50ST is designed for tension, compression, flexure and shear strength testing on materials and assemblies. The robust design incorporates quality materials and components and ensures that our reputation for superior system performance, ease of use, and longevity is maintained.

A variety of loadcells are available at differing capacities that give precise applied load measurements from the smallest test specimen to ones that go to full machine capacity. Test machines become complete, powerful test systems with the addition of grips to hold the specimen, strain measurement instrumentation and Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software.
