Brine Thermometers
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11588
The Brine Thermometer is a specialized immersion instrument designed to measure the temperature of concentrated saline solutions, commonly referred to as brine. It is primarily utilized in chemistry and food science laboratories at the secondary and vocational education levels. This tool is essential for experiments involving freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and the industrial monitoring of Sodium Chloride saturation levels within STEM curricula.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Borosilicate glass construction.
Benefit: Resists thermal expansion and mechanical stress, preventing the glass from shattering when moved rapidly between ice-cold brine and ambient laboratory temperatures.
Feature: High-contrast graduated scale.
Benefit: Minimizes parallax error and reading inaccuracies, ensuring students capture high-fidelity data during quantitative analysis of colligative properties.
Feature: Chemical-resistant fused markings.
Benefit: Prevents the degradation of the measurement scale when exposed to corrosive Sodium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride solutions, maintaining the tool's utility over years of classroom use.
Feature: Optimized sensing bulb geometry.
Benefit: Increases the surface-area-to-volume ratio, allowing for a faster response time so students can observe immediate thermal changes during the dissolution of salts.
Feature: Reinforced glass suspension loop.
Benefit: Enables the instrument to be securely suspended from a thermometer clamp, preventing it from touching the bottom of the beaker and yielding inaccurate local temperature readings.
Curriculum Alignment
This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the rigorous laboratory standards set by Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) frameworks. It specifically facilitates benchmarks in "Matter and Its Interactions," allowing students to empirically demonstrate how the addition of Sodium Chloride alters the physical properties of water, a fundamental concept in both thermodynamics and industrial food processing.
