Melting Point Block
Melting Point Block (Product Code: SLE/PHY/112) is a basic aluminium heating block used to determine the melting point of substances in school chemistry and physics practicals. Designed for individual student use, it has a 7 mm hole for a thermometer and comes with a 75 x 25 mm glass slide; the thermometer is not supplied. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Melting Point Block Used For?
A few crystals of the test substance are placed on the glass slide resting on the block, a thermometer goes into the thermometer hole, and the block is warmed slowly from below. Aluminium spreads heat evenly, so the thermometer reading follows the temperature under the slide closely; the reading at which the crystals turn clear and liquid is recorded as the melting point.
Students can compare a pure sample with one containing an impurity, which melts lower and over a wider range, or identify an unknown solid against a table of values. Heat gently near the expected melting point for an accurate result, handle the hot block with tongs, and let it cool before cleaning the slide. Giving every learner a block of their own makes it a practical choice among physics lab instruments in India.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of blocks — the listing presents it for individual student use.
- A thermometer for each block, with a stem that fits the 7 mm hole.
- A heat source and support, such as a burner, tripod and gauze.
OEM Manufacturer
The Melting Point Block is manufactured by ScienceLab — the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Since the block comes straight from the OEM, schools ordering a full class set and dealers restocking can ask the maker directly about spare glass slides or repeat supplies. Background on the company is on our company profile.
Related Physics Lab Equipment
Heating equipment and alternatives for melting-point work:
- Bunsen Burner — provides gentle, controllable heat under the block.
- Tripod Cast Iron Varnished — supports the block above the flame.
- Gauze Wire — spreads the burner heat evenly under the block.
- Melting Point Apparatus Simple — an alternative set-up for melting-point tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Melting Point Block?
The Melting Point Block includes the aluminium block and a glass slide measuring 75 x 25 mm. A thermometer is not supplied, so order one separately or use a suitable thermometer already in your laboratory.
What size of thermometer fits the block?
The thermometer hole in the Melting Point Block is 7 mm. Choose a thermometer whose stem passes easily into a 7 mm opening and whose range covers the melting points your students will measure; ask us if you want one quoted.
Why is the block made of aluminium?
Aluminium conducts heat well, so the Melting Point Block warms evenly and the thermometer reading stays close to the temperature under the glass slide. This helps students record a clearer melting point with simple school heating equipment.
Is it suitable for individual student work?
Yes. The Melting Point Block is described as ideal for individual student use, so each learner or pair can carry out their own melting-point determination instead of watching a single demonstration at the front of the class.
Who manufactures the Melting Point Block?
The Melting Point Block is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations come directly from the manufacturer.
What should I include when requesting a quote?
To request a quote for the Melting Point Block (SLE/PHY/112), give the number of blocks, whether thermometers should be included, and the delivery destination in India or abroad. Use the contact page or enquiry cart to send the details.
