Why is it important for the melting point of the solder in a fire sprinkler to be lower then its melting points of the parts it connects?

If the solder melted sooner than the surrounding parts, the line carrying the water to the sprinkler would lose pressure, resulting in the failure of the sprinkler system to deliver water.

What is goals boiling and melting point?
Melting and boiling points are important characteristics of materials: they are needed in industry and in laboratory.
Do nonmetals have higher melting points or lower boiling points?
lower melting points
Which ions have high melting points?
positive ions have high melting points
Do proteins have definite melting points?
Different proteins have different melting points.
Compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be .?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Do liquids have melting points?
No, they only have freezing points & gaseous points (it where the liquid becomes a gas). Why don' they have melting points? Well take this as an example: If you left your chocolate bar out in the sun it will melt and become a liquid. There for becoming a liquid IS melting, there is no further melting points to an object ounce it becomes a liquid. Substances have melting points. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid, in other words, the temperature at which it melts.
When magma cools minerals with higher melting points will?
Minerals with higher melting points will crystallize.
Effect of impurities on melting point and melting point?
According to RAOULT, when two different metals of different melting points are melted or alloyed there melting points considerably change. So,according to the percentage of impurities, the melting points either increase or decrease.
How compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How do you identify solids at melting or boiling points?
Melting and boiling points are different for each compound or element.
How would you describe the melting points of the ionic solids?
Ionic solids are characterized by high melting points.
Explain why there is this pattern in melting points for francium?
The melting point of francium is not measured, only supposed by comparison with the melting points of the other alkali metals.
