Sand baths are laboratory heating devices that uses heated sand to uniformly transfer heat to containers. They provide stable, controlled temperatures, typically ranging from room temperature to 400°C. Our sand baths are ideal for applications like distillation, evaporation, and reflux reactions. These units offer safety and thermal insulation, minimizing the risk of direct flame exposure. Our system is particularly useful for heating round-bottom flasks and other glassware.

FAQ for Sand bath
1: What are sand baths used for in laboratories?
Sand baths are used to provide uniform and controlled heating for multiple lab applications, such as distillations, evaporations, and reflux reactions.
2: How do sand baths work?
Sand baths work by heating sand inside a container, which will then evenly distributes heat to glassware placed within. They ensure consistent and safe thermal conduction.
3: What temperature ranges can sand baths achieve?
Most sand baths can reach temperatures from room temperature up to 400°C. They offer precise control for various laboratory procedures.
4: Are sand baths safer than direct flame heating methods?
Yes, sand baths are considered safer because they offer indirect and stable heating, reducing the risk of glassware damage and uneven heat exposure.
