Melting point apparatus, Digital, SMP10 andSMP20
Digital selection & display of temperature
Choice of accuracy, 1 or 0.1 degree resolution
Easy to operate with plateau facility
Ideal for educational use
Supplied with calibration certificate
The SMP10 and SMP20 have been designed with safety and ease of operation inmind making it ideal for use in education. The temperature is selected,measured and displayed digitally making it accurate and negating the need fora thermometer. The SMP10 displays temperature to 1 degree resolution while themore advanced SMP20 has a 0.1 degree resolution as well as a variable ramprate and hold key so that the exact melt temperature can be recorded.
Two samples can be tested simultaneously. They are viewed via a magnifyinglens with clear observation aided by built in illumination. Extendible backfeet allow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle. Full accessto the block aids cleaning. The simple to follow instructions are printeddirectly on the instrument in most European languages for ease of use.
To operate simply select a plateau temperature via the digital display andpress “start”. The unit quickly heats up and remains at the selectedplateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test. Insert thesample tubes and press “start”. The unit then heats at a fixed rateof 2¡C per minute for the SMP10 and at a user selected rate of between 1 and10¡C per minute for the SMP20. When the sample is seen to melt, note thetemperature on the display. Press “stop” to end heating and cool theblock.
Supplied complete with calibration certificate showing individual serialnumber for traceability.
