Drop Point Apparatus By Ring & Ball Method 
Test Method:
Dropping point determinations are used for identification and quality control purposes, and can be an indication of the highest temperature of utility for some applications. The sample is heated at a prescribed rate in a precision machined cup whose sides slope toward an opening at its center. The temperature at which a liquid drop first falls from the cup is the dropping point of the sample.
Features & benefits
Benefits

Accesssories:

•  TEMP. RISE : SETABLE FROM RANGE 0.1DEG C TO 9.9 DEG C.
•  METHOD OF DETECTING DROP POINT : MANUAL.
  
•  MICROPROCESSOR BASED TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT WITH ALL NECESSARY INTERLOCK.
•  YOU CAN SET 10 DEG PRIOR TO EXPECTED DROP POINT. ONCE IT WILL REACH THERE IT WILL GIVE YOU AUDIO VISUAL ALARM AND WILL MAINTAIN THAT TEMPERATURE UNTIL YOU PRESS A RESET BUTTON.( UPTO THIS TIME YOU DON’T HAVE TO ATTEND THE EQUIPMENT.)
  
•  AFTER REACHING PRESET TEMPERATURE, YOU HAVE TO SET RAMP RATE OF TEMPERATURE RISE RANGE FROM 0.1 DEG C TO 9.9 DEG C PER MINUTE. AFTER SETTING THE RAMP RATE, YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE START BUTTON.
•  NOW, WHEN YOU DETECT DROP POINT, PRESS HOLD BUTTON THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY WILL HOLD UNTIL YOU PRESS RESET BUTTON. THE HOLD DISPLAY OF TEMPERATURE INDICATE YOUR DROP POINT.
