Ashnoor ASHPLT004 ASHPLT003 Heating Lab Hot Plate

A typical laboratory hot plate specification includes the heating plate material (e.g., stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic), the plate size (e.g., 8-12 inches, or specific dimensions), the temperature range (e.g., 50-300°C), the temperature controller (digital PID), the power source (single-phase 220-230V AC), and safety features like overheat shut-off and CE certification. The material and size are chosen based on the specific application, with higher temperatures potentially requiring different plate materials. Key Specifications to Consider Heating Plate Material: Stainless Steel (SS 304): Common for general-purpose heating, offers good durability and chemical resistance. Cast Iron: Suitable for higher temperature ranges. Ceramic Glass: Good for chemical resistance but more susceptible to mechanical damage. Plate Size and Shape: Available in various diameters (e.g., 20-30 cm) and rectangular shapes. Larger plates offer a bigger work area but require higher power consumption. Temperature Range: Typically ranges from 50°C to 300°C for standard models, but can extend to 550°C or 600°C for specialized applications. Temperature Control: Digital PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers with external sensors are preferred for precise temperature control. Energy regulators and on/off indicators are also important features. Power and Voltage: Most laboratory hot plates are single-phase, operating on 220-230V AC, 50-60 Hz. Larger units with higher power ratings (2.5-4.0 kW) are available. Body Material: Often powder-coated mild steel for the main body of the unit. Safety Features: Automatic high-temperature shut-off to prevent overheating. CE certification or conformity to international standards is a crucial requirement.
