Melting Point Apparatus – Simple Aluminium Cylinder 65 × 50 mm

Simple melting point apparatus designed for determining the melting point of solid substances in laboratory experiments.

This aluminium cylinder apparatus provides a clear, hands-on method for students to observe phase changes and measure melting points during chemistry lessons. Commonly used in secondary school and introductory tertiary labs, it supports practical learning around thermal properties, purity of substances, and changes of state through direct observation and measurement.
