Water Bath with Magnetic Circulation, Stainless Steel, 180F, 7.76 Gal

Water Bath with Magnetic Circulation, Stainless Steel, 180F, 7.76 Gal

The Water Bath is a state-of-the-art solution designed for precise temperature control in a variety of materials testing applications. Built for durability and accuracy, this water bath is an essential piece of equipment for any lab adhering to ASTM standards.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Precise Temperature Control: Features a microprocessor-based digital controller that maintains temperatures from ambient up to 180°F (82°C) with an exceptional accuracy of ±0.1% of the input span. A dual digital display conveniently shows both the set temperature and the current process temperature simultaneously.
• Uniform Temperature with Magnetic Circulation: This deluxe model includes a powerful magnetic stirring bar (circulator) that creates consistent water flow throughout the bath. This ensures there are no hot or cold spots, providing uniform heating for all samples and guaranteeing repeatable, accurate test results.
• Robust Stainless Steel Construction: The interior chamber and all exposed surfaces are made from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent durability and resistance to corrosion. The unit is fully insulated to maintain temperature stability efficiently and reduce energy consumption.
• Spacious and Versatile: With a generous 7.76-gallon (29.4 L) capacity, the bath is designed to meet high-throughput demands. It can accommodate up to twelve 4" (102 mm) diameter Marshall specimens or three 6" (152 mm) diameter specimens at once.
• Optimized for Specimen Conditioning: A removable stainless steel shelf is included, which supports specimens 2 inches (51 mm) from the bottom of the bath. This elevated placement allows for free circulation of water above and below the samples, ensuring they are conditioned evenly and thoroughly.
• User-Friendly and Safe Design: The front-mounted control panel is engineered to be both water- and corrosion-resistant, protecting the electronics and ensuring long-term reliability in a demanding lab environment.
