Melting Point Apparatus with 4 digit LED display is designed for accurate measurement of melting points and for checking the melting range of the solid samples. The apparatus consists of a silicon oil-bath of about 200 ml capacity, covered with a teflon cover with 5 holes, fitted with a special type of oil immersion heater and having three holes for holding the capillaries, one for boiling point tube and one for the thermometer.
The apparatus consists of an in-built magnetic stirrer, an electronic controller with indicator for precisely adjusting the rate of heating of silicon oil-bath, an ON/OFF switch, a pilot lamp, a magnifier, glare free background illuminator and a High/Low range temperature selector switch and digital temperature indicator with PT-100 RTD sensor.
The 'Start' switch is used to start the measurement of melting point. User can stop the process of measurement using 'Stop' switch after the instrument reaches the melting point of the sample. The display will always show the last temperature where 'Stop' switch was pressed in last measurement. Clear switch is used to clear the display to zero.
