JIS K 7210:2016

JIS K 7210:2016 is a Japanese Industrial Standard that specifies the method for determining the melt flow rate (MFR) of thermoplastic materials using an extrusion plastometer. This standard is similar to international standards such as ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133, but is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the Japanese market and industries.

The procedure outlined in JIS K 7210:2016 involves heating a thermoplastic sample and extruding it through a die under a specified load. The MFR is calculated by measuring the amount of material that flows through the die over a given period. This test is crucial for understanding the processing characteristics of thermoplastics and ensuring consistency in manufacturing.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, our Melt Flow Index Tester is engineered to comply with JIS K 7210:2016, providing accurate and reliable results. This standard is widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and packaging in Japan, where precise control over the melt flow rate of thermoplastics is essential for producing high-quality products.
