Water Bath, Stainless Steel, 140F, 8.3 Gallon

Digital Water Bath with Magnetic Stirrer (8.3 Gallon)

The Digital Water Bath is a state-of-the-art digital water bath designed for precise temperature control and uniform heating in laboratory settings. With a generous 8.3-gallon (31.4-liter) stainless steel tank, this unit is ideal for conditioning asphalt, concrete, and other material samples for a variety of testing applications.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Precision Temperature Control: The advanced digital controller utilizes a Type "J" thermocouple for exceptional accuracy, allowing you to set and maintain temperatures up to 140°F (60°C). The easy-to-read display can be toggled between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

• Uniform Temperature Distribution: An integrated, variable-speed magnetic stirrer ensures even temperature distribution throughout the tank, eliminating hot spots and guaranteeing consistent sample conditioning. The controller allows for easy adjustment of circulator speed to match your specific needs.

• User-Friendly Design:

  • Assisted-Open Cover: The attached lid is supported by a gas shock absorber, holding it open securely for easy access. This clever design allows any condensation to drain back into the bath, preventing messy drips and the need to find a place for a hot lid.

  • Elevated Sample Placement: A removable, perforated shelf keeps specimens 2 inches off the bottom of the tank, promoting optimal water circulation around the samples.

  • Effortless Draining: An external drain valve simplifies the process of emptying the bath for cleaning and maintenance, a significant improvement over models that require tipping or siphoning.

• Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance:

  • Robust Construction: The tank is built from high-quality stainless steel for long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance.

  • Field-Replaceable Heating Element: The heating element is a standard, easily sourced component, similar to those used in electric water heaters. This allows for simple, on-site replacement, minimizing downtime and eliminating the need for costly service calls or shipping the entire unit for repair.

• High Capacity: The spacious tank accommodates a variety of sample sizes, holding up to 12 – 4" Marshall Specimens or 5 – 150mm Gyratory Specimens.
