The SMP10 has been designed with safety and ease of operation in mind making it ideal for use in education
The temperature is selected, measured and displayed digitally eliminating the need for a thermometer
Easy to follow instructions are printed on the front panel
Viewing is via an illuminated magnifying lens, two samples can be observed simultaneously
The viewing cover is easily removed to allow access to the bulb and for cleaning
The heating block is behind a protective screen and is designed to heat quickly and remains at the selected plateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test
A large LED display makes reading the temperature easy and three LEDs show the user the state of the sample
For unknown readings the unit can be set for rapid heating (20¼C per minute) to a set level and then to a slower rate of heating (2¼C per minute) nearer the melting point
This unit has extendable feet, allowing the user to view samples at an optimum angle
When not in use the feet fold away to make the unit easier to store
Each unit is supplied with an individual calibration certificate showing actual temperature accuracy
