Melting Point Apparatus - Advanced

SMP3

NOTE : This model has now been updated to the SMP30 model, shown here.

Designed for fast and accurate measurement of melting points. The heating block accommodates up to three samples and incorporates a platinum resistance sensor for responsive temperature control.

A membrane keypad allows easy setting of the desired start temperature and heating ramp rates (fully adjustable from 0.5ºC to 10ºC per minute) in 0.1ºC increments. The user friendly backlit alphanumeric LCD display advises both the temperature and the specific stage of operation. Language is switchable between English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Clear observation of the samples and melt process is aided by a powerful magnifying lens and high intensity illumination. When measurements of melt are being made, the temperatures may be stored in the instrument's memory by pressing the storage buttons. The values can then be recalled at a convenient time. Once the heating cycle is completed, an integral air pump quickly cools the heating block so that the next series of tests can be commenced promptly.

Supplied complete with calibration certificate showing individual serial number for traceability.
