First test results
The heat flow record showed an endothermic effect between 37 °C and 73 °C, with peak at 67 °C and onset at 66 °C. The melting point is 66 °C.
Second test results
The heat flow record showed an endothermic effect between 36 °C and 74 °C, with peak at 67 °C and onset at 66 °C. The melting point is 66 °C.
Conclusion
The melting temperature of the test item is 66 °C (the mean of two measurements).
