Melt Flow Rate

The melt flow rate, or melt flow index, describes how quickly a thermoplastic polymer will flow.

Input Data Description
Melt Flow Rate Mass of polymer flow in terms of mass per time.
Note: While the industry standard for melt flow rate is grams of polymer flow in 10 minutes, the app records this option in kg/s. You might have to convert the melt flow rate for your selected polymer before entering its melt flow rate value.
Max Shear Rate Maximum shear rate, γ max .
Max Shear Stress Maximum shear stress, τ max , in terms of force per area.
