5.1.3 Micro Bath Tub Kit
The micro bath is used for calibrating sensors with special shapes or dimensions. Direct contact between the
sensor and the calibration liquid ensures excellent heat transfer.
The calibration liquid is poured directly into the tub insert.
The micro bath tub kit (optional) includes the transport cover, the work cover, the sensor cage, the magnetic
stirrer, the magnetic lifter and, as an accessory, the tub insert. The individual components are described
below.
Tub insert:
The tub insert is placed into the tank with the help of the insert exchange tool.
The tub insert can be closed with the associated cover.
Both threaded covers are leakproof, so the calibration liquid can be left in the tank or the tub
insert during transport.
Transport cover:
The transport cover serves for secure closing of the micro bath. It prevents spillage of the
calibration liquid during transport.
Work cover:
The work cover fulfils various tasks during the operation.
• It reduces the evaporation of the calibration liquid to a minimum.
• It reduces the cooling on the surface of the calibration liquid.
• It ensures stable positioning of the test sensors in the micro bath.
The work cover is screwed on to the micro bath and has five openings for test specimens. The unused
openings can be closed with suitable silicon plugs.
Sensor cage and magnetic stirrer:
The sensor cage protects the magnetic stirrer. It prevents the sensors from blocking
the magnetic stirrer. The function of stirring is ensured by the sensor cage.
The magnetic stirrer ensures a uniform temperature distribution in the
calibration liquid. The default speed of the magnetic stirrer is set to 100%.
IMPORTANT! Wearing part! The magnetic stirrer is a wearing part.
Replace worn-out magnetic stirrers.
