Functional principle 

The Melting Point M-560 is an instrument for manual (visual) determination of melting point, melting range, and boiling point at ambient temperatures +10 °C up to 400 °C. The melting point of three samples can be determined at the same time. The boiling point can be determined for one sample. Samples are observed through the lens. 

Melting point

The melting point capillary sits in a hollow of the metal block, which is electrically heated and controlled by a temperature sensor. The heating block is capable of being maintained accurately at a pre-defined temperature by the heating element, and of being heated at a defined rate. The melting point is determined manually. 

Boiling point 

The boiling point is determined by the “Siwoloboff” method. The Melting Point M-560 can be used to determine the boiling point of a small amount of liquid. The heating block has one insert available for boiling point tubes (outside left). The boiling point is determined visually.
