Melting Point Apparatus - Analogue

SMP11

With new safety features and easy to use, the SMP11 is ideal for use in education.

Supplied with a safe, spirit filled mercury free thermometer, the low toxic blue spirit will not pose a health hazard in the event of a breakage. Easy to follow instructions are printed directly on to the apparatus and are available in most European languages.

With a manually adjustable heating rate, the SMP11 will rapidly heat samples up to 20°C per minute to the melt temperature and up to the maximum temperature of 250°C. Accurate readings to within 1°C of the melt temperature can be achieved by using a slower heating rate of between 1 and 10°C per minute.

Up to three samples can be viewed and tested at any one time. Samples are illuminated by a bright white LED and viewed via a magnifying lens. The magnifying lens can be detached for cleaning using the simple to follow instructions printed on to the instrument.
