Laboratory Round Hot Plate (Product Code: SLE/LHP/03) pairs a 20 cm cast iron heating plate with a steel body and a three position rotary switch, giving students a sturdy, easy-to-read heat source for a single vessel. It reaches a maximum surface temperature of approximately 300 °C and runs on 220 V AC/50 Hz mains. Teachers ordering school chemistry lab equipment in India use it for one-beaker experiments at each workstation, and technicians keep one on the prep bench for reagent work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

One plate per student group is a common arrangement for heating curves, solubility tests, boiling-point observations and preparing hot water baths in a beaker. With three switch positions there is little room for confusion: students start on the low position for warming, move up when they need boiling, and return to low to hold a temperature. Cast iron stores heat, so the plate stays hot for some time after switching off — tell students to treat it as hot until a teacher has checked it.
For schools building up educational lab equipment India classrooms can share, a round plate of this size fits most common beakers and conical flasks while leaving space on the bench for notebooks and apparatus. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, keep the supply cable away from the hot plate, and never heat a closed container.
The plate is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana; ScienceLab is the brand name under which the company sells its laboratory products. Visit our company profile to learn more about the business.

All models are listed in our Hot Plates category.
What is the plate made of and how big is it?
It is a cast iron plate of 20 cm diameter mounted on a steel body. Vessels with a base smaller than the plate heat most evenly.
What is the maximum temperature?
The maximum surface temperature is approximately 300 °C. Liquids in a vessel will be cooler than the plate, so check them with a thermometer.
Can it be used on a different mains voltage?
This model is specified for 220 V AC/50 Hz. If your mains supply is different, contact us before ordering so we can advise you.
Is it suitable for younger students?
The three position switch is simple to use, but the cast iron surface gets very hot and cools slowly. Use it under teacher supervision with tongs and protective wear.
Can you provide a calibration certificate?
Calibration documentation should be discussed with us at the enquiry stage through the contact page.
Do you supply hot plates in class quantities?
Yes, we supply schools and colleges in India and international markets. Share the number of workstations, delivery address and billing details, and our quotation will include warranty terms.
