Capillary Melting Point Tubes – Open Ends, Pack of 100 [0540]

The Capillary Melting Point Tubes are high‑quality laboratory consumables designed for the accurate determination of melting points in school and college science laboratories. Manufactured from 3.3 borosilicate glass, these tubes offer excellent thermal stability and durability, making them ideal for routine educational use.

Each capillary tube measures approximately 10cm in length and is open at both ends, allowing flexible sample loading depending on practical requirements. The borosilicate glass construction provides intermediate hardness and a consistent melting point, ensuring reliable performance during heating.

With a fine wall thickness of 0.2mm, these tubes enable clear observation of solid samples as they melt, supporting accurate temperature readings and good experimental technique. Supplied as a pack of 100, they are ideal for class sets, practical assessments, and repeated use throughout the academic year.
