Analog heating plate M 15

with plate

Product Description
The M 15 laboratory hot plate provides controlled heating for small to medium laboratory vessels. Temperature is adjustable from 50°C to 300°C using a liquid‑expansion thermostat with 5°C increments and a working accuracy of ±5°C. The heating surface is a Ø15 cm normalized cast‑iron plate; the unit draws 1000 W from AC 190–240 V / 50–60 Hz and is protected by a 6 A fuse.

About Hot Plates
Hot plates are laboratory heating devices used for uniform and stable heating of samples and vessels where a controlled surface temperature is required. The M 15 is designed for benchtop use with small to medium containers and offers straightforward mechanical control suited to routine laboratory workflows.

FAQ: Hot Plates
Q1: What is the typical use of a hot plate in a laboratory? A: Heating samples, solutions or vessels for chemical, biological or physical procedures where a stable surface temperature is needed.
Q2: Can hot plates be used for both dry and liquid heating? A: Yes. Use vessels compatible with the target temperature and avoid dry overheating of temperature‑sensitive materials.
Q3: How do I maintain the accuracy of a hot plate? A: Keep the heating surface clean, inspect and replace fuses as required, and verify thermostat calibration periodically.
