4.1 Weights
Table 4-1 shows the weights that can be supplied for the standard test conditions in ASTM D
1238 and ISO 1133. The piston rod and piston foot (less the collar) weigh 100 grams. All the
weights are marked in grams. Tinius Olsen certifies that the weights are accurate to within
+/- 0.5% of the stamped weight.
EXAMPLE: To apply a Test Load of 2.16 kilograms you would use the 2,060 gram weight,
adding in 100 grams for the piston rod assembly (less the collar).

4.2 Glass Reference Thermometers
Tinius Olsen no longer supplies thermometers. Model TO410 is a digital temperature
measuring system that can be used instead of thermometers.
4.3 Digital Reference Temperature Measurement System (P/N: 02002184)
The Model TO410 handheld, battery operated temperature verification kit is designed for use
with Melt Flow Indexers. This device is for use from 100 to 400 degrees C. It has a
resolution of 0.001 degrees C and an accuracy of approximately 0.05 degrees C. It includes
an RTD with tips designed to properly access the temperature of the bore of a Melt Flow
Indexer. Also included is a dual voltage charger with 4 different power outlet adapters.
Calibration certificates from an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory are provided.
