Liquid Temperature Calibration Baths 21
liquid temperature calibration baths Water Baths A comprehensive range of temperature controlled water baths are available from Techne. Twenty different water bath combinations allow the use of accurate temperatures from -40°C up to 200°C; ensuring a solution for most laboratory applications. First select the unheated stainless steel bath (see page 23) which has the appropriate volume for the application, for example B-26 which has a volume of 26 litres.
liquid temperature calibration baths Unheated Baths Designed to be used with a clip-on Tempette or Tempunit® thermoregulator, these baths incorporate carrying handles for added safety. All baths have stoved enameled steel outer cases and are supplied with bridge mounting plate to hold the thermoregulator. Polypropylene spheres can be used to create a ball blanket so as to reduce evaporation and heat loss, whilst providing instant access to the bath.
liquid temperature calibration baths Techne® invented the ”Clip On” thermoregulator in 1948, and now offer four “Clip On” units. Thermoregulators are designed to be used with the Techne® unheated water baths or any other suitable laboratory vessels. They will heat, circulate and safely control the temperature of the liquid in the bath within precise limits.

liquid temperature calibration baths Dip and Flow Coolers The Techne Dip and Flow Coolers work in conjunction with a Techne thermoregulator (see pages 24 and 25). The bath liquid flows through the unit which continually extracts heat from the bath fluid by means of the heat exchanger which is built into the unit. The cooling head of the Techne Dip Cooler fits neatly and unobtrusively into the corner of the bath and can be secured with a specially designed mounting bracket (supplied).
liquid temperature calibration baths Refrigerated Baths These baths are a complete refrigerated circulating system for open or closed applications for temperature ranges from -35°C to 100°C. Each bath is supplied with a lid and bridging plate. There are three bath capacities: 7 litre (RB-5A), 12 litre (RB-12A) and 22 litre (RB-22A). Temperature control is via one of the four thermoregulators and together they offer a choice of 12 different bath combinations.
