Melting Point Apparatus - DVI Basic Model With Digital Temperature Controller (EI-DVI)
 
1. Overview and Core Functionality
 
The Melting Point Apparatus is an essential laboratory instrument used for the accurate determination of the melting point of crystalline or solid samples. This digital version is optimized for precision and ease of observation, making it a reliable tool for analytical processes, identification of substances, and quality control applications, particularly in fields dealing with chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers.
The sample material is accommodated within a sealed capillary tube. This capillary is inserted into the heating mechanism, which operates via an electrical heating block or an immersion heater within an oil bath.
 
2. Precise Temperature Control and Measurement
 
The apparatus utilizes a digital temperature controller for regulating the heating process and providing real-time temperature feedback.
Digital Control: Temperature can be easily set directly from the digital controller itself.
Temperature Readout: The measured temperature is observed clearly on the digital control panel.
Heating Adjustment: Heating rate and temperature can be adjusted using the digital panel controls or via the specialized energy control knob provided on the unit.
Sensor Technology: Temperature measurement typically relies on a reliable Platinum Resistance (PT-100) sensor for high accuracy.
3. Sample Observation and Comparison
For rigorous testing, the apparatus is equipped with features designed for clear viewing and verification of the melting process:
Observation: The unit includes an eyepiece fitted with a magnifier, ensuring clear observation of the sample as it melts within the capillary. This visual clarity aids in precisely marking the melting point end point.
Manual Verification: There is a specific provision to fix one standard glass thermometer alongside the capillaries at the top of the apparatus. A dedicated clamp is provided to secure the glass thermometer, allowing the operator to simultaneously observe and compare the sample temperature with an independent reference.
 
4. Typical Structure (Oil Bath Configuration)
 
While dry block options exist, many digital melting point apparatuses feature an oil bath system for uniform heating:
Heating Medium: The unit typically contains a silicon oil bath, often having a capacity of around 200 ml, surrounded by a specialized oil immersion heater.
Uniformity: An in-built magnetic stirrer helps ensure uniform temperature distribution throughout the silicon bath, providing a more consistent and accurate heating environment for the sample.
