Compliance Standard : ASTM D127 – Standard Test Method for Drop Melting Point of Petroleum Wax, Equivalent procedures as referenced in international petroleum testing practices
Application : Petroleum refineries and wax processing plants, Lubricant and specialty wax manufacturing units, Quality control and R&D laboratories, Chemical and petrochemical industries, Research and academic institutions.
Typical materials tested include : Petroleum waxes, Paraffin wax, Microcrystalline wax, Related wax products.
Product Description : The apparatus consists of a transparent glass heating bath mounted on a temperature-controlled electric hot plate. The bath is fitted with a wax sample holder assembly, thermometer / temperature sensor, and observation window for clear visibility of the wax drop. Heating is regulated through a manual energy regulator / digital temperature controller, allowing the operator to achieve the specified heating rate as per ASTM D127. The compact bench-top design ensures ease of operation, safety, and repeatable results.
