About This Product
Etched scales can fade in fuming hydrochloric or nitric acid, so an enclosed scale is chosen for chemistry work where the thermometer sits in corrosive fumes. Students use it to follow temperature during synthesis, phase changes and thermal equilibrium experiments. The Thermometer, Enclosing Type can be supplied on export terms to Namibia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Oman, Malaysia, Turkey and Seychelles.
