Melt Flow Rate Calculator

Melt Flow Rate Calculator calculator can be used to determine the melt flow rate of a polymer by measuring the weight of material that flows through a standard die in a given time.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Melt Flow Rate (g/10 min) = (Weight of Material / Time) * 10

Where:
Weight of Material: The weight of the material in grams.
Time: The time in minutes for the material to flow through the die.

Result

Melt Flow Rate: 0 g/10 min

Learn how to use the Melt Flow Rate Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the weight of the material in grams in the "Weight of Material" field.
  2. Enter the time in minutes for the material to flow through the die in the "Time" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the melt flow rate.
  4. The result will be displayed in g/10 min.

Working Principle

The Melt Flow Rate (MFR) is a measure of the flowability of a polymer in a molten state. It is defined as the weight of polymer (in grams) that flows through a standard die per 10 minutes. The MFR is an important parameter in determining the processability of polymers.

The formula used for calculation is:

MFR (g/10 min) = (Weight of Material / Time) * 10
