bath.
Heating circulator
bath operation
A manual describing operation of the heating circulator bath is provided by the
vendor.
Process fluids
Use only recommended fluids:
• Water
• Saline
• Protein serum
Set limits before
testing
Limits should be set such that grips and fixtures cannot damage the EnviroBath
chamber during setup and testing.
For electromechanical test frames, limits are usually set by positioning physical
switches to stop crosshead travel when the limit is reached. For more
information, see the individual frame product manual.
For servohydraulic test frames, limits are usually set in the control software. For
more information, see setting detectors in the controller software manual for
additional information.
Elevated temperature
operation
For elevated temperature operation information, see circulating bath vendor
documentation
Fluids used in the EnviroBath chamber can reach boiling point.
Boiling fluid can cause personal injury and equipment damage.
When operating the EnviroBath chamber at elevated temperature, it is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure the temperature set point is below the boiling
point of the process fluid.
