Test Method
The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature at which the solid to liquid phase transition occurs, referenced at one atmosphere (1 ATM) of pressure.
Features and Benefits
• Conforms to BP Appendix 5 - Method 6 and GLP specifications
• Readily interchanged between automatic and manual detection of melting point ranges
• Intelligent Lamp Intensity Control with Soft Start
• Storage capacity for up to 20 sample tests
• User-interactive software and data entry, including easy alphanumeric entry of sample name, ID number, and date
• User selectable operating modes: automatic and manual.
