Lalco Mild Steel Melting Point Apparatus

Melting point code:242 discription: melting point apparatus is very useful in the determination of the melting point of any substance in small quantity upto 300 degree c. It consists of an alluminium block which accepts three capillary tubes and a mercuty thermometer. The block is heated by two elements clamped to the sides. the built in lamp provides uniform and shadowless illumination of sample tube which are viwed through the magnifying lens against either a dark or bright ground selected by rotating a know to the rear of the apparatus . a built in a rotary theostat 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. .
