Description
KP4 behrotest® hot plate is a laboratory heating plate rated at 2000 W for 230 V operation, with a heating surface diameter of 180 mm and an integrated controller. A metal guard grid protects the work area and supports safer handling during heating tasks in analytical and preparative laboratories. The combination of substantial power output and a circular 180 mm plate makes the unit suitable for vessels and setups that require steady, controllable heat on a compact footprint. Temperature adjustment via the built-in controller allows operators to adapt heating conditions to the needs of digestion, evaporation, sample preparation, or general laboratory warming steps. This hot plate from manufacturer Behr belongs to the behrotest® range used in routine lab heating applications. Supplied as a single unit, the KP4 is intended for benches where a robust 2000 W plate with metal protection and straightforward regulation is required. It serves chemistry, environmental, and general laboratory environments that need reliable surface heating with defined electrical and dimensional specifications.

Questions about KP4 behrotest heating unit 2000 W with controller and protective grill 230 V, Ø
What is this article?
KP4 behrotest heating unit 2000 W with controller and protective grill 230 V, Ø is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Behr for laboratory use. It sits in Hot plates & heating blocks, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
A hot plate heats a flat-bottom vessel from below, often with stirring. A heating block holds tubes in machined holes so each tube sees the same temperature. The block's hole diameter has to match the tube, or the heat never arrives.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
