Melting Point (Carpet)

The temperature at which a carpet fiber changes from a solid to a liquid.

Melting Point (Chemistry)

The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid.

Melting Point (Explosives)

Melting point, temperature at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid (see States Of Matter). Under standard atmospheric pressure, different pure crystalline solids will each melt at a different specific temperature; thus melting point is a characteristic of a substance and can be used to identify it. The quantity of heat necessary to change 1 gram of any substance from solid to liquid at its melting point is known as its latent heat of fusion.

Melting Point (Metal)

The temperature at which a pure metal, compound or eutectic changes form solid to liquid; the temperature at which the liquid and the solid are in equilibrium.

Melting Point (Science)

The temperature at which a solid melts to become a liquid

Melting Point (Weather)

The temperature at which a solid substance undergoes fusion, changing from a solid to a liquid state. Contrast with freezing point.
