HOT PLATE

MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC

 DESCRIPTION

A laboratory hot plate is a piece of equipment used to uniformly heat samples in a laboratory setting. It consists of a flat, typically metallic or ceramic surface that can be heated to a controlled temperature, allowing for the conduction of experiments that require precise and consistent heating. Here are the key features and components of a laboratory hot plate:

KEY FEATURES:

HEATING SURFACE:

• Made of materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or ceramic.
• Designed to provide uniform heat distribution.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:

• Equipped with adjustable temperature settings.
• Some models have digital displays and programmable controls for precise temperature regulation.
• The temperature range can vary, often up to 500 °C.

SIZE:

• Available in various sizes to accommodate different sizes of beakers, flasks, and other laboratory vessels.

SAFETY FEATURES:

• Overheat protection to prevent accidents.
• Non-slip surfaces or rubber feet for stability.
• Some models include a hot surface indicator to warn users when the plate is hot.

MAGNETIC STIRRING:

• Many hot plates come with an integrated magnetic stirrer.
• Allows for simultaneous heating and stirring of solutions.
• Uses a magnetic stir bar placed inside the container to stir the contents automatically.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

ACCESSORIES:

• Temperature sensor: stainless steel.
• Boss head clamp: Suitable for fastening the holding rod to the support rod.
• Holding rod: for attaching a boss-head temperature sensor to the support rod.
• Support rod: Suitable stainless steel support rod (threaded).
