WATER BATH, 7 litres
Definition
A mains electricity (AC-powered) receptacle for water designed to immerse and keep objects or products at a hot, or less frequently, cold temperature.
The temperature can be controlled from a few degrees below or above ambient temperature to close to 100°C (212°F).
It typically consists of a corrosion-resistant container that can store water, heating elements, sensors, thermostats, and controls, allowing incubation of tubes before performing certain tests.
