Melting Point Apparatus
This apparatus is very useful in the determination of the melting point
of any substance in small quantity upto 300°C. It consists of an
aluminium block which accepts three capillary tubes and a mercury
thermometer. The block is heated by two elements clamped to the sides.
The built in lamp provides uniform and shadow less illumination of
sample tube, which are viewed through the magnifying lens against either
a dark or bright ground selected by rotating a knob to the rear of the
apparatus. A built in a rotary rheostat gives accurate adjustment of the
rate of increase of temperature as melting point is approached. Both
the heaters are kept ‘ON’ in the ‘LOW’ as well as ‘HIGH’ position of the
toggle switch, thus ensuring uniform heating from both sides of the
block. A second toggle switch on the right side connects the lamp and
power input to the apparatus. A sturdy metal enclosing the heating block
and controls is powder coated with textured siemens grey finish.
