H e a t e r  B l o c k :
An aluminium block accepts three capillary tubes and a mercury thermometer. The block is heated by two elements clamped to the sides.

I l u m i n a t i o n   a n d   V i e w i n g :
The built in lamp provides uniform and shadowless illumination of sample tubes which are viewed through a focussable lens against either a dark or bright background selected by rotating a knob at the rear of the apparatus.

C o n t r o l s :
Both the heaters are regulated by a built-in rotary rheostat which gives an accurate adjustment oft herateof increase of temperature as the melting point is approached. An auxiliary heater is provided for quick heating. This is activated when the Low/High switch is in the High position. The ON/OFF switch controls the lamp and the power input to the apparatus.

C a s e :
A sturdy metal casing enclosed the heating block and controls. A thermometer support is supplied but no thermometer.

O p t i o n a l  A s s e s s o r y :
Cooling plug for heating block. This is a water cooled metal plug for inserting in the thermometer pocket for rapid cooling of the heating block. Reduces the cooling time considerably.

For Determination of single or mixed melting Determination of single or mixed melting points upto 350 °C.
