Rope Melting Point and Thermal Behaviour Apparatus

Heated block apparatus that finds the melting point of rope fibre and filament samples under visual observation. Used to identify polymer type and verify heat limits for rope applications.

Specification

A small sample is placed on a heated stage and temperature is raised at a controlled rate. The operator watches through a magnifier until the sample melts. The digital display records the temperature at melt onset.

Features

• Heating up to 350 deg C
• Magnifier with LED light
• Rate selectable 1 to 10 deg C/min
• Digital display 0.1 deg C
• Glass sample slides
