Air-bath Micro Melting Point Determination Apparatus

Melting Point Determination

An improved technique is described for the accurate determination of melting points of metals in the temperature range 1500° to 2500°C. The improvements consist of gradient heating and refinements in cavity preparation to obtain true black-body conditions. The melting point of hafnium, as determined by this method, is set a t 22220-+30°C. This is over 200°C higher than one of the values reporte...

A melting-point-of gallium apparatus for thermometer calibration.

We have investigated the equilibrium melting point of gallium as a temperature fixed-point at which to calibrate small thermistor thermometers, such as those used to measure temperature in enzyme reaction analysis and other temperature-dependent biological assays. We have determined that the melting temperature of "6N" (99.999% pure) gallium is 29.770 +/- 0.002 degrees C, and that the constant-...

Determination of melting point of polycaprolactones under carbon dioxide pressure

Solid-Liquid-Gas equilibrium of poly-(ε-caprolactone) – carbon dioxide systems at high pressure has been determined by visual determination of the first melting point using a static apparatus. Measurements have been performed with poly-(ε-caprolactones) of three different molecular weights: 4000 g/mol, 10000 g/mol and 25000 g/mol. The determined SLG equilibrium lines show a temperature maximum ...

A New Determination of the Melting Point of Palladium

The melting point of palladium was determined by measuring with an optical P3^rometer the ratio of brightness of the red light (X= 0.6528m) emitted by black bodies at the melting points of palladium and gold, respectively. The crucible method was shown to be more reliable than the wire method. Especial attention was given to the purity of the metals. The result obtained by the crucible method, ...
