Product Code : SCL-AM-11571
A thermometer stand is a specialized laboratory support instrument designed to suspend liquid-in-glass or digital thermometers at precise depths within reaction vessels. Primarily utilized in secondary and tertiary science education, it prevents contact between the temperature sensor and vessel walls to ensure accurate data. It supports STEM curricula by facilitating hands-on experiments in thermodynamics, calorimetry, and chemical phase changes.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Adjustable horizontal cantilever arm.
Benefit: Prevents thermometer bulbs from touching the bottom or sides of beakers, eliminating localized thermal bias and ensuring the measurement of the substance's true average temperature.
Feature: Weighted hardwood base.
Benefit: Provides a low center of gravity that resists tipping, even when supporting top-heavy digital sensors or long-stemmed glass thermometers in high-activity classroom environments.
Feature: Precision tension-locking screw.
Benefit: Allows students to maintain a consistent immersion depth during long-duration experiments, such as evaporation or cooling curve observations, improving data reliability.
Feature: Non-conductive timber construction.
Benefit: Acts as a thermal insulator that minimizes heat transfer from the thermometer stem to the support structure, preserving the thermal equilibrium of the sample.
Feature: Polished chemical-resistant finish.
Benefit: Protects the instrument from degradation when exposed to common laboratory reagents like Sodium Hydroxide or dilute Hydrochloric Acid, extending the operational lifespan.
