PRECISION MELTING POINT APPARATUS

This is a compact instrument designed for accurate determinations of melting points of solid samples. The unit consists of a built-in magnetic stirrer, an electronic controller for adjusting the rate of heating of silicon oil bath, an ON/OFF switch, a pilot lamp, magnifier, a glare-free background illuminated, a HIGH/LOW range selector switch and a digital temperature indicator with PT 100 sensor.

The range of the apparatus is from about 2
0C, above room temperature upto 300°C, with readability ±1°C. The apparatus is supplied with 175ml, silicon oil for use upto 300°C and a box of capillaries. It can also be used for determinations of boiling points, flow points, and molecular weight by rast’s method with special tubes not supplied with the instrument.
