Product Description: Rectangular Double Wall Thermostatic Water Bath (12 Holes):
Overview of the Product:
The Rectangular Double Wall Water Bath is a reliable and essential piece of laboratory equipment designed for experiments requiring consistent and precise temperature control. Built with robust double-walled construction, this unit features 12 standard-sized holes to accommodate multiple containers simultaneously. It is ideal for educational institutes, scientific research, and biological applications that demand controlled thermal conditions.
Construction and Design:
This water bath features a double walled structure which effectively minimises heat loss and prevents vapour leakage through the use of insulation. The inner chamber is constructed from Stainless Steel (SS), ensuring durability and easy cleaning. The outer body is made of Mild Steel (M.S.) sheet that is typically finished with a durable enamel or powder coating.
The space between the inner and outer walls is filled with high-grade insulating material, such as mineral wool or special grade glass wool, for temperature stability. The cover includes 12 holes, each fitted with removable concentric rings, allowing the user to accommodate containers of various sizes. A drain plug is often fitted for quick and easy water drainage and cleaning.
Temperature Control and Performance:
Temperature regulation is managed by a thermostatic control system designed for reliable operation. The standard operating temperature ranges from a few degrees above ambient (or 5°C above ambient) up to 95°C to 100°C. Precision is maintained by an immersion type heating element, with typical temperature accuracy ranging from ±0.5°C or better to ±1°C. For precise thermal sensing, the unit typically uses a PT-100 temperature sensor. The control panel typically includes pilot lamps and a thermostat control knob.
Applications and Usage:
This water bath is designed as an essential tool for scientific experiments in a variety of environments. It is widely used in laboratories, engineering colleges, ITI institutions, and polytechnic institutions. Key applications include general boiling applications, Kolmer and Khan Test Inactivation, and Paraffin Embedding. It provides a constant temperature environment necessary for biological and scientific apparatus.
