Defined examples — our methodology

The marked temperature is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Gallium melting plateau at standard pressure

Equilibrium melting temperature near 101 kPa: 29.76 °C; specified; range 29.75 °C–29.77 °C.

Gallium melts at about 302.9146 K (29.7646 °C) near standard pressure. Purity and pressure affect a realised plateau.
