Melting Point Apparatus Simple Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Melting Point Apparatus Simple (Product Code: SLE/H/18) is a very simple device for determining the melting point of amorphous solids. It consists of an aluminium cylinder with an obliquely drilled hole at its top that holds a thermometer; a thin layer of the test substance is sprinkled on the top face, the block is heated gently, and the temperature at which the substance melts is read straight from the thermometer. It suits introductory chemistry and physics practicals, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its school chemistry lab equipment for India and international markets.

Key Details

Typical Use

The block is set on a stand above a small, gentle flame and a thermometer is slid into the oblique hole so its bulb lies inside the aluminium close to the top face. A pinch of the powdered sample is spread in a very thin layer on that face. As the block warms, students watch the powder closely and note the thermometer reading at the moment it turns to liquid. Because aluminium carries heat quickly, the top face and the thermometer bulb stay at similar temperatures, which is what makes a direct reading possible. For substances that soften gradually, it is worth recording both the point where softening starts and where the layer becomes fully liquid.

Heat slowly as the expected melting point approaches, clean the top face between samples once the block has cooled, and use a fresh thin layer for each reading so results can be repeated. Its simplicity makes it popular as low-maintenance lab equipment for college and school practical rooms where a quick, visual melting-point check is needed.

Manufacturer

The apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab and based in Ambala, Haryana. Registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, the company produces its range at a licensed factory in HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a thermometer included?
A thermometer is not listed as part of the apparatus. The oblique hole is made to accommodate one — contact us if you want a matching thermometer quoted.

Which substances is it intended for?
It is designed for determining the melting point of amorphous solids. For sharp melting points of pure crystalline compounds, the capillary or digital methods linked above are the usual choice.

What heat source do I need?
Any source that allows gentle, controllable heating, such as a small burner or spirit lamp; a heat source is not listed among the supplied items.

How do I clean the block?
Let it cool, then wipe the top face free of residue before the next sample, without scratching the surface.

Is a calibration certificate available?
Readings come from the thermometer you use. If you need calibration paperwork for the thermometer or apparatus, please discuss it with us via the contact page.

Can you supply multiple units for a lab or export order?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors across India and international markets; warranty terms and lead time are confirmed in your quotation.
