MELTING POINT APPARATUS BRAND NEWThis Melting Point Apparatus is useful in the determination of melting point of any substance in small quantities up to 300Degree Celsius. It consists of an aluminum block which accepts three capillary tubes & mercury thermometer. The block is heated by two elements clamped to the sides.The built in lamps provides uniform & shadow less illumination of sample tube which is viewed by magnifying glassagainst 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.
