Intended Use
The Type 2600 hot plate is a heavy duty hot plate intend-
ed for procedures requiring temperatures from 425°F to
900°F (482°C). These hot plates are not to be used in the
presence of explosive vapors; this device contains com-
ponents which may ignite such materials.
The unit consists of 1) a heated plate, 2) a four position
temperature switch and, 3) a three wire cord and plug.
See Figure 1 for the overall shape and general features of
the unit.
Principles of Operation
The top metal plate is heated by a resistance heater
embedded in a refractory material. The plate is made of
cast iron to withstand heavy loads and is suitable for use
with glass or metal vessels. The temperature of the plate
is controlled by a four position temperature switch. This
switch is used to select varying resistive loads that will
vary the watts input. The case supports the top plate, and
houses insulation, electrical connections, and temperature
control switch.
