GENERAL COMMENT
The use of freeze-point cells embodies one of nature's simplest and most predictable phenomena. However, the
technique (requiring association of cells with other equipment) involves subtlety and operator sensitivity. Before
relying upon measurements made in them, the operator should perform enough freezes to become familiar with the
cell, furnace, control, monitoring thermometer and readout (as a system) to ensure that the melt is clearly identifiable
and sufficiently consistent.
