Programmable heating controls
• Rapid fan cooling
• Footprint is only 4.6" x 6.1"
• Temperature range: ambient to 400°C
Microprocessor controlled temperature ramping eliminates heating rate inconsistencies that occur with manually adjusted models. Ramping rates may be selected from 0.1°C to 10.0°C. The instrument automatically heats to, and holds, the selected ramp start temperature. Easy to follow directions are printed on the front of the unit. An audio-visual alarm indicates when oven temperature is stable. The onset and end of a melting range may be saved and then recalled later for recording. A high-speed fan cools the unit to the selected start temperature after each test. The temperature display can be calibrated without tools, using a melting point standard. A soft rubber eyecup eliminates ambient light glare. Units include 100 capillary tubes.
The precision machined aluminum block is several times more uniform than blocks in other melting point instruments. The
unique geometry was optimized with computer modeling and then built, tested and refined to provide sharply defined melting range determinations.
