About This Product
A brine thermometer is used in practicals on freezing-point depression and boiling-point elevation, where students add salt to water and record how the temperature changes. Hanging it from a thermometer clamp keeps the bulb in the liquid rather than resting on the glass, so the reading reflects the solution itself. Enquiries from Croatia, Guinea, Gambia, Poland, Jamaica and Iran for the Brine Thermometers receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the glass loop on a brine thermometer for?
The loop lets it hang from a thermometer clamp, so the bulb does not touch the bottom of the beaker.
