Product DescriptionThe 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.
SpecificationsTemperature range: 50°C–300°C. Control: liquid‑expansion thermostat, 5°C steps. Accuracy: ±5°C. Power: 1000 W. Heating plate: Ø15 cm normalized cast iron. Casing: sheet steel with stoved enamel finish. Dimensions (W×H×D): 18×26×9 cm. Net weight: 2 kg. Power supply: AC 190–240 V / 50–60 Hz.
About Hot PlatesHot 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 PlatesQ1: 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.
