CAT M. Zipperer GmbH H 4 heating device for water, oil or sand baths
The CAT M. Zipperer GmbH H 4 heating device was developed to provide reliable, precise and versatile heating solutions in demanding laboratory environments. It enables work with water, oil or sand baths, covering a wide range of applications. Compared to conventional heating baths, this device is characterised by its robust workmanship, high performance and specific design features that set it apart from many competing products.
Powerful heating for a wide range of applications
The H 4 heating device impresses with its compact design and efficient temperature control. Precise temperature control is essential in chemical and biotechnological research as well as in materials science and analytical laboratories to ensure reproducible results. The device covers a temperature range from 40 to 330°C, which means it can be used for gentle heating as well as for high-temperature applications.
Thanks to its robust V2A construction, the device is also suitable for demanding continuous use and requires little maintenance. The safe and even heat distribution allows sensitive samples to be heated gently, while other applications benefit from high temperatures, such as drying processes or viscosity determination of heavy oils.
Important technical features
The following points summarise the key specifications that allow the device to be smoothly integrated into existing laboratory equipment:
- 600 watts of heating power for short heating times - 1.0 litre volume for targeted heating of small to medium-sized samples - Compact heating surface of 140 x 140 x 55 mm - Temperature range from 40 to 330°C for different applications
- V2A material for durability and high corrosion resistance
- 230 V power connection for universal use in the laboratory
- Compliance with relevant DIN and CE standards
In addition to these features, the device offers intuitive operation. Temperature control is precise and stable, allowing the desired target temperature to be reached and maintained quickly. This reliable process makes all conventional liquids such as water, oil or even sand suitable for heat transfer.
Typical areas of application
The H 4 heating device is used successfully in many laboratories for various work processes. The following areas of application are particularly important:
- Water baths: Ideal for gently heating test tubes or flask contents to around 100°C. This allows temperature-critical reactions to proceed stably without sensitive substances overheating.
- Oil baths: At temperatures up to 200°C, highly viscous solutions can be homogenised or distillation preparations can be supplied with constant heat. This ensures that heat-intensive processes run reliably.
- Sand baths: The device is ideal for tasks that require temperatures above 200°C. Samples can be heated evenly, for example to ash solids or carry out certain drying or crystallisation processes at up to 330°C. - Material testing: The device offers high temperature stability and is therefore also a reliable solution for hardness testing, stabilising drying methods or ageing tests in research and development.
FAQs
How quickly does the device heat up?
Thanks to its 600 watt power, the desired temperature is reached quickly. Depending on the initial temperature of the liquid, the device can bring samples to the desired temperature in just a few minutes.
Is safe handling guaranteed?
Yes, it meets the current DIN and CE requirements and has appropriate protective functions to prevent overheating or uncontrollable temperature fluctuations.
Which materials are particularly suitable for temperature control?
