The composite material is melted and a specific load is applied to it. Under this load, the amount of material movement in a capillary tube in 10 minutes is determined. The MFI is the viscosity index of a polymeric material at a specific temperature and measured via a melt flow indexer according to ISO 1133 standards. This is the most critical property of polymers to be molded.

It is a gravimetric measuring system consisting of a balance and a heater. It calculates the % moisture or dry matter ratio in a short time by comparing the initial weight and weight loss during drying.

It is used to determine bulk density of materials according to ISO 1183 standards.

It is used to heat the polymeric compound at very high temperatures to decompose all of the organic ingredients. Thus, inorganic content of the compound is determined from the remaining ash.

Optimization of extrusion head pressures is very critical in polymeric film production and directly related with the morphology of the masterbatch. FPV instrument is equipped with pressure sensors and a computer.
