TINIUS OLSEN TESTING MACHINE COMPANY

FACTORY CERTIFICATE

This is to certify that the Tinius Olsen MP1200 Extrusion Plastometer (Melt Indexer) and

Accessories are checked prior to shipment and found to conform to the applicable

portions of ASTM D 1238 and ISO 1133 Test Methods (when used with the appropriate

options).

The verification devices are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and

Technology and are listed below.

The orifices are checked with orifice gauges manufactured and calibrated with

Calibration Standards traceable to the International System of Units (SI) through

NIST.

Piston feet, rods and collars are checked using devices verified with Gage Blocks

traceable to the International System of Units (SI) through NIST.

The weights are calibrated with weights traceable to the International System of

Units (SI) through NIST.

Note: The instrument, and especially components subject to wear during normal use,

should be inspected periodically to insure continued conformance to ASTM D

1238 and ISO 1133.

CAUTIONS

CAUTION: Read the instruction manual thoroughly before attempting to use this

equipment.

CAUTION: This instrument has been designed to determine the melt flow index

property and other thermal processing properties of polymers. It is not intended for any other

use. Any attempt to use this instrument in any fashion other than its intended use may

damage the machine and/or harm the operator.

CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object to press any of the buttons on the Model

MP1200 Controller, as this will damage the LCD screen.

CAUTION: The tools used on the machine may get hot during use.

CAUTION: This machine is designed for indoor use only. It shall be used in a

controlled environment (temperature range 5oC to 40oC, maximum R.H. of 80% at 31oC).

Maximum operating altitude is 3,200 meters. The area that it is located shall be free from

vibrations.

CAUTION: Prior to shipment, the cylinder of the machine is coated with oil to

prevent rust from forming. When the machine is first turned on, it is normal for the machine

to “smoke” as the cylinder comes to temperature and the oil residue burns off. To minimize

the release of smoke, clean the cylinder thoroughly before turning the machine on. Be sure

that a ventilation system is operating at this time.

CAUTION: In some instances an exhaust system may be required to remove the

fumes and/or odors released during a test. These instructions do not address all of the

safety concerns related to ventilation of fumes produced during normal testing operations.

CAUTION: The machine is heavy and care must be used when lifting the

machine from the box or moving the machine. Always lift the machine by the base plate.

DO NOT the machine up by the Motorized Weight Lowering Device (WLD) or by the

furnace assembly.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the flash point of the material being tested.

CAUTION: Possible pinch points associated with the weight-lowering device exist.

One is between the lift cap and the lifter top at the bottom most position of the platform and

the second exists between the weight lowering platform and the piston rod.

CAUTION: The surfaces of the furnace assembly can be extremely hot when the

machine is in operation!

CAUTION: Protective gloves should be worn when operating the machine.

CAUTION: Use caution when working with machines equipped with manual and

automatic extrudate cutters. Wear protective gloves to avoid cuts & burns.

CAUTION: The Motorized Weight Lifting/Lowering Device (WLD) is designed to

apply (and remove) test loads onto the piston. During normal operation a weight support

plate carrying various test loads moves up & down. At its uppermost position, the

mechanism will rotate 90oclockwise to facilitate cleaning of the bore. Ensure that there is

proper clearance for this action at the installation site.

CAUTION: Weight retaining rods must be installed to prevent weights from

falling.

CAUTION: Keep flammable materials from long term contact with the furnace.

CAUTION: Unplug the machine before any attempt to remove covers.
