The L-K Industries Criterion Water Bath Heater distributes 900 watts of heating power. The unit is designed to provide precise heating of solvents and samples prior to use in an oil centrifuge or other equipment. The dimensions of the units have been carefully determined so that the unit will fit comfortably in the fume hood of a laboratory. It has a resistive heating element with RTD temperature feedback to a temperature controller. The resistive heating element is controlled by a solid-state relay. This allows the temperature controller to fail “OFF” if a signal is lost and prevents runaway heating. The Criterion series uses water to transfer heat. The unit can accommodate 14 Long Cone (C) centrifuge tubes, 14 Capillary (E) tubes or 12 Short Cone (D) style tubes. It is preprogrammed to a temperature set point of 140°F (60°C) and can maintain that set point with unrivaled precision.

The Criterion Water Bath heater features digital temperature control, which allows for extended, consistent heating. The design enables efficient rotation of heated solvent or crude oil samples and less down time due to optimal tube capacity. Its modular construction creates versatile options for laboratory configuration. The unit is certified by ETL (Electrical Testing Laboratory) for Class I, Division 2, indoor use. It is rated for Group A, B, C and D Hazardous and Ordinary Locations (Pollution Degree 2). It meets the requirements of ANSI/ISA-STD 12.12.01 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010.1 (2nd addition). Due to these certifications, the unit requires hard-wiring. All Criterion water baths feature a stainless-steel tub, which reduces corrosion and makes the bath more robust.
