Hello,

I am asked if it is necessary to make MFI test for incoming materials. I said it is nice to have, but I have never used this machine before and I do not know exactly how to use information obtained from test. I would like to ask for your short feedbacks.

We process ABS, MABS, PP and we work with international reliable suppliers. My process is not precise as much as medical devices.
My questions;
1- How to use the information from MFI test ? Rejecting the lot before pumping to silo or adjust the parameters accordingly and warn the company?
2- Is it common that they send out of spec material companies like BASF ?
3- Can I use MFI test machine for other purposes than accepting lot ?
