Thermolyne hot plates call for savvy moves when you're buying them.
With hot plate and cast aluminum crest, the Thermolyne thermostat can supply full-fledged power till it reaches a set temperature.
Then it cycles for holding temperatures within (say) 3C.
Usually, the cast aluminum made top plate comes with ribs onto the underside for preventing warping/bucking.
Embedded within the refractory plates, there are heating elements made of Nickel-chromium alloy.
These plates conserve the very original placement of these coils.
This way, they are able to guard those from all sorts of damages.
Take for instance its stainless steel case (especially perforated), as it allows unbound cooling airflow.
This ensures that the control system is cool.
This also prevents any kind of damage (caused by heat) to the table tops.
And temperature control remains stepless.
You can expect the top operating temperature to be at 371C.
The best thing about aluminum made top plates is that, they can outperform other similar materials.
Thus, you are entitled to get better temperature consistently and stably.
The Thermostatic temperature controlling system offers superb stability.
You also get safe and consistent higher temperature use.
Nevertheless, the cycle light shows when the power supply is reaching the heating element.
Now let's turn to the stainless steel plates of Thermolyne plates.
They offer optimal strength even for heavier loads.
When it comes to the surface, 12" x 24" measurement is comment.
Usually, surface of the top plate can accommodate as much as 40 lbs (over 18 kg).
You can find hot plate cases that are painted with special paint for better chemical resistance.
Some Thermolyne plates are meant for glass vessels only.
You can expect 38c to 371C or 100F to 700F, of temperature range.
Actually, there is a large degree of applications for hot plates featuring demand-type thermostat controls, which automatically reaches and stays at temperature range of 38C (100F) to 371C (700F).
When you buy one, try and get heavier products, which come with cast-aluminum top.
This will ensure even heat distribution.
These types of Thermolyne hot plates are good for large heating jobs or even the smaller ones.
And ensure that you get seamless stepless temperature selection flexibility as well as minimal overshoot, cycle light and baffled air cooling.
As is required by most professionals, heating element wiring should come embedded for ensuring superior protection.
The wires should be however easier to replace whenever necessary.
In most cases, 30.
5 cm x 30.
5 cm (12" x 12") models are equipped with a 3-wire cord/plug; whereas 30.
5 cm x 61 cm (12" x 24") models call for conduit connection.
