Viscosity Index Mixture

Go Viscosity Index = ((Aromatic's Viscosity-Lube Oil Viscosity)/(Aromatic's Viscosity-Paraffinic Viscosity))*100

BMCI Number

Go Bureau of Mines Correlation Index (BMCI) Number = (48640/Temperature)+(473.7*Specific Gravity)-456.8

Characterisation Factor

Go Characterisation Factor = ((Molal Average Boiling Point)^(1/3))/Specific Gravity

Molal Average Boiling Point Based on Characterisation Factor

Go Molal Average Boiling Point = (Characterisation Factor*Specific Gravity)^3

Aniline Point

Go Diesel Aniline Point = (Diesel Index*100)/API Gravity

Diesel Index

Go Diesel Index = API Gravity*(Diesel Aniline Point/100)

Saybolt Method Viscosity

Go Saybolt Method Viscosity = (0.219*Time)-(149.7/Time)

API Gravity

Go API Gravity = (141.5/Specific Gravity)-131.5

Melt Flow Index

Go Melt Flow Index = Weight of Polymer/10

Melt Flow Index Formula

Melt Flow Index = Weight of Polymer/10
MI = M_p/10

What does Melt Index Signifies?

The Melt Flow Index (MFI) is a measure of the ease of flow of the melt of a thermoplastic polymer. It is defined as the mass of polymer, in grams, flowing in ten minutes through a capillary of a specific diameter and length by a pressure applied via prescribed alternative gravimetric weights for alternative prescribed temperatures.

How to Calculate Melt Flow Index?

Melt Flow Index calculator uses Melt Flow Index = Weight of Polymer/10 to calculate the Melt Flow Index, Melt Flow Index is defined as the mass of polymer, in grams, flowing in ten minutes through a capillary of a specific diameter and length by a pressure applied via prescribed alternative gravimetric weights for alternative prescribed temperatures. Melt Flow Index is denoted by MI symbol.
