Laboratory Digital Rectangular Hot Plate
Product Code : EL-HP-10687
Quick answer: The laboratory digital rectangular hot plate is a large flat heater that takes several beakers or flasks at once, used for evaporation, digestion and general heating. A PID controller reading an external probe regulates the cast iron plate up to 350 °C, and three sizes run from 30 x 25 cm to 45 x 30 cm. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for school, college and industrial laboratories.

How the digital hot plate is used
A flat hot plate suits flat-bottomed vessels such as beakers, conical flasks, evaporating dishes and trays, which sit in full contact with the surface. The thick cast iron plate stores heat and spreads it across its area, so vessels placed at different points warm at a similar rate and the surface temperature stays steady when a cold vessel is added.
Temperature is set on the digital PID controller. With the external probe placed in the liquid or on the plate, the controller compares the reading with the set point and adjusts power continuously, which gives a repeatable temperature for evaporating extracts, concentrating solutions or running several digestions side by side.
- Choose the plate size to fit the number and footprint of vessels to be heated.
- Stand the vessels on the plate and clamp the external probe on the support rod so its tip sits in the liquid.
- Set the required temperature on the PID controller and switch on.
- Leave the controller to hold the set point while the samples evaporate or digest.
- Switch off and allow the cast iron plate to cool before moving the unit.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes of digital rectangular hot plate are available?
Three sizes are offered: 30 x 25 cm (12 x 10 in), 40 x 25 cm (16 x 10 in) and 45 x 30 cm (18 x 12 in), with power ratings of 1.2 kW and 1.6 kW.
How is the temperature of the digital hot plate controlled?
A PID controller reads the external temperature probe and adjusts the power to hold the set temperature, up to a maximum surface temperature of 350 °C.
Which vessels work best on a rectangular hot plate?
Flat-bottomed glassware and metal vessels, such as beakers, conical flasks, evaporating dishes and trays, because they sit in full contact with the cast iron surface.
