Rheology at its smartest! Flexible, compatible, systematic.
Depending on the design variant, our mi2 can be used to run measurements in accordance with the following standards:
- ASTM D1238
- ISO 1133
- ASTM D3364
Rheology at its smartest! Flexible, compatible, systematic.
Depending on the design variant, our mi2 can be used to run measurements in accordance with the following standards:
With automatic weight lifting device
The mi2.2 is more operator friendly than the mi1 thanks to its automatic weight lifting device. This makes it possible to start the measurement automatically after the melting time and to lift the weights at the touch of a button and move them to the start position once the measurement has been completed.
with additional weight magazine
Compared to the mi2.2, the mi2.3 also has a weight magazine that can be loaded with up to 8 test weights. Due to the weight magazine the used test weights do not have to be lifted manually onto the device.
Good to know
Due to the modular design, it is possible to increasingly automate the melt index measurement. The test devices can be used as a stand-alone device or with an adjacent PC to manage the test results.

CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Our modular add-ons also offer an extended option for characterizing materials.
Our miCONNECT software is a browser-based platform for workstation-independent management and analysis of measurement data, which can be used without installation.
The residual moisture has a considerable influence on the measurement result for certain test materials. Therefore, it is recommended to dry test materials before a IV measurement and to determine the residual moisture.
