Digital Melting Point
Apparatus
MPS10 Series
Standard
U Digital Selection and
Display of Temperature
U High Accuracy
U Easy to Operate with
Plateau Facility
U Ideal for Educational Use
The MPS10 has been designed with
both safety and ease of operation
in mind, making it ideal for use
in education. The temperature is
selected, measured and displayed
digitally making it accurate
and negating the need for a
thermometer. The MPS10 displays
temperature to 1 degree resolution.
Two samples can be tested
simultaneously. They are viewed
via a magnifying lens with clear
observation aided by built-in
illumination. Adjustable back feet
allow the unit to be operated at
the optimum viewing angle. Full
access to the block aids cleaning.
The simple to follow instructions are
printed directly on the instrument.
To operate simply select a plateau
temperature via the digital display
and press “start”. The unit quickly
heats up and remains at the
selected plateau temperature until
the user is ready to start the test.
Insert the sample tubes and press
“start”. The unit then heats at a
fixed rate of 2°C per minute for the
MPS10. When the sample is seen
to melt, note the temperature on the
display. Press “stop” to end heating
and cool the block.
Melting Point Tubes
Made from soda glass, these tubes
are easy to seal in a Bunsen flame
and cleanly break in two. Supplied
in a robust tube holder, pack of
100 tubes. Tube overall length
is 100 mm tube diameter =
1.9 mm (0.07"), inner diameter =
1.3 mm (0.05") and wall thickness =
0.3 mm (0.01").
