Polymer melt-flow method selection

Flow checks support resin consistency and processing investigations, not a full rheological model. Agree grade, drying, test temperature/load and whether mass or volume flow answers the decision. Compare ASTM D1238 with the selected ISO 1133 part rather than converting labels.

Sample considerations

  • ASTM D1238: Resin grade, drying, temperature/load, MFR or MVR and procedure
  • ISO 1133-1: Temperature, load, mass/volume procedure and drying
