Ultra-Low Temp Calibration Liquid Bath (-80°C)
Ultra-Low Temp Calibration Liquid Bath (-80°C) -80°C to 50°C. Stable bath uniformity for accurate calibration. Ideal for Temperature sensor.
Liquid calibration baths are precision thermal vessels filled with temperature-stable liquids (ethanol, methanol, oil, water-glycol blends) used to calibrate and verify temperature sensors. The liquid surrounding sensors provides uniform thermal contact—unlike dry blocks that rely on point contact. This makes liquid baths the primary standard for sensor calibration. Indeecon offers four core models covering -100°C to +270°C with stability down to ±0.005°C, meeting ISO/IEC 17025 and NABL calibration laboratory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between L-CRIO-100 and L-ULT-80?
L-CRIO-100 reaches -100°C with ±0.005°C stability for ultra-cryogenic applications. L-ULT-80 reaches -80°C with ±0.010°C stability. Choose based on your lowest required temperature.
Can I calibrate multiple sensor types simultaneously?
Yes. The liquid bath accommodates RTDs, thermocouples, NTC thermistors, and other sensors simultaneously. All immersed sensors stabilize to the same temperature.
How do I avoid oil degradation in the L-OIL-270 model?
Use premium synthetic silicone oils (food-grade or laboratory-grade). Indeecon recommends oil change every 2 years or 2000 hours, whichever comes first. We supply certified oils.
Can the baths be integrated with data logging systems?
Yes. All models feature digital temperature outputs (RS-232 / Modbus TCP available). Integration with LIMS and calibration software is straightforward.
