Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Hermetically sealed enclosed scale.
Benefit: Protects the graduation markings from exposure to corrosive vapors such as fuming Nitric Acid or Ammonium Hydroxide, solving the problem of fading scales in harsh chemical environments.
Feature: Borosilicate glass outer sleeve.
Benefit: Provides an additional layer of thermal insulation and mechanical protection for the delicate internal capillary, reducing the risk of breakage during student handling.
Feature: Precision-ground glass integration.
Benefit: Allows the thermometer to be securely fitted into distillation apparatus or reflux setups, ensuring a gastight seal and preventing the escape of hazardous gaseous byproducts.
Feature: High-contrast internal background.
Benefit: Enhances the visibility of the sensing liquid column against the scale, significantly reducing parallax error and eye strain during long-duration thermal monitoring.
Feature: Linear expansion sensing liquid.
Benefit: Delivers a high degree of measurement repeatability, essential for students performing quantitative analysis of boiling point elevations or fractional distillation.
