NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 4/See 1) (First Revision)which is identical with ISO 1133:1997 ‘Plastics - Determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and the melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of thermoplastics’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Methods of Test for Plastics Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Councii.

This standard was pubiished in 1995, which was under dual numbering with the earlier version of ISO nameiy, iSO 1133:1991. Since iSO 1133:1991 has subsequently been revised as ISO 1133:1997, the committee decided to revise this standard and pubiish it under duai numbering with the iatest version of iSO namely ISO 1133:1997.

The text of iSO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identicai to those used in indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the foliowing:

a) Wherever the words ‘intemationai Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they shouid be read as ‘Indian Standard.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker whiie in indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimai marker.
