Learn how to measure MFI / MFR / MVR in just 1 hour
🎓 Online course for labs, quality control, purchasing, sales, and production staff
Have you ever worked with Melt Flow Index (MFI) test results — but weren’t sure if the test was done correctly?
👉 MFI, MFR, and MVR are critical parameters that determine how thermoplastics behave during processing.
👉 If you don’t know how these values are measured — it’s harder to control quality, evaluate raw materials, or avoid production issues.
This course explains how to properly perform the Melt Flow Index (MFI) test step by step — without complex standards, formulas, or unnecessary theory.
No matter what brand or model of melt flow tester (plastometer) you use — the procedure is always the same.
If you are new to MFI testing or want to standardize the procedure in your lab — this course will give you clear, practical instructions based on ISO 1133 and ASTM D-1238.
What will you learn in this course?
🟢 What the Melt Flow Index (MFI, MFR, MVR) test measures — and why it matters
🟢 How to prepare the sample and set test parameters
🟢 What the difference is between MFR and MVR — and how to interpret results
🟢 How to select the correct temperature and weight for each polymer
🟢 How to perform the test step by step
🟢 How to avoid common testing errors and mistakes
🟢 How to use checklists, tables, and ready-made materials to simplify your work
🟢 How to apply this procedure — regardless of the melt flow tester you use
Who is this course for?
🟢 People working in labs, quality control, or production departments
🟢 Machine operators and process engineers who want to understand how MFI testing affects production
🟢 Purchasing and sales teams working with technical specifications and materials
🟢 Salespeople offering regranulates or virgin polymers
🟢 Students, interns, and anyone starting in the plastics industry
🟢 Any company that processes plastics or uses regranulates and regrinds
What kind of equipment do we cover in this course?
🟢 Melt Flow Index testing devices (plastometers) – regardless of brand or model
🟢 The course is based on ISO 1133 and ASTM D1238 standards
🟢 The testing procedure applies to any melt flow tester — including Rolbatch devices and other brands
You’ll learn how the test is performed, what to pay attention to, and how to interpret the results — even if you’re not from a technical background.
Why should you take this course?
➤ Because MFI results affect production quality, raw material selection, and process stability
➤ Because a correctly performed test helps avoid costly production errors
➤ Because you will learn how to perform the test in just 1 hour — without weeks of studying standards
➤ Because this procedure works with any melt flow tester, regardless of brand
