Product information "IKA Plastic Bath IB HF 24 eco, 24 Litre, Tall Form, 20006884"
Some laboratory vessels, such as tall graduated cylinders, long-necked round-bottom flasks or upright test tube racks, need more immersion depth than a shallow standard bath can offer. The IKA plastic bath IB HF 24 eco (MPN 20006884) is designed for exactly this case: a tall form with 24 litres of volume and a bath depth of 200 millimetres, considerably more than the identical-design standard bath IB 18 eco with a depth of only 150 millimetres at a similar footprint. The letters HF in the name stand for this tall design, a direct indication of the most important difference from the shallower models of the eco series. Instead of tilting a vessel or immersing it only partially, the additional depth makes it possible to achieve uniform temperature control over the entire fill height even with upright, tall containers.
Tall form for deeply immersed vessels
With internal dimensions of 490 x 286 x 200 millimetres, the IB HF 24 eco offers a bath depth 50 millimetres greater than the standard bath IB 18 eco at an almost identical footprint. This is particularly noticeable with vessels whose contents should lie as completely as possible below the bath surface, for example tall graduated cylinders or long-necked flasks, which would only be partially immersed in a shallower bath. The external dimensions are 584 x 338 x 205 millimetres, so that despite the additional height the bath can be used without significantly more space than the standard model. Anyone who already has experience with the IB 18 eco will therefore quickly find their way around the IB HF 24 eco, without having to rearrange the workstation.
24 litre plastic bath for the aqueous range
Like the other baths of the eco series, the IB HF 24 eco is made of robust plastic, approved for a maximum of 100 degrees Celsius and intended exclusively for operation with water. With a capacity of 24 litres it lies between the more compact IB 18 eco with 18 litres and the large-volume IB R 52 eco with 52 litres, and is therefore suitable for applications where neither a very small nor a particularly large bath would be the right choice, but the additional immersion depth is needed.
Combination with an immersion circulator
The IB HF 24 eco is also supplied as a bath vessel only, without its own heating, and becomes a complete circulating bath in combination with an IKA immersion circulator. The tall form additionally makes it easier to hang the circulator head, as more free depth is available for the immersion length of the heating and circulation unit without it touching the bottom of the bath. Particularly with circulators with a longer immersion shaft, this is a practical advantage over the shallower baths of the series. As with all baths of the IB series, the circulator chosen ultimately determines how quickly the bath heats up and how stably the target temperature is maintained over the entire bath depth.
Placement in the IKA IB series
Within the eco series, the IB HF 24 eco is the only bath with an expressly tall design, while the IB 18 eco and IB R 52 eco rely on a bath depth of 150 and 300 millimetres respectively, each with a different volume. Anyone who values a large footprint above all, for example for many shallow vessels standing side by side, is better served by the IB 18 eco or the IB R 52 eco, while the IB HF 24 eco is specifically the right choice for tall, narrow vessels where immersion depth is more important than a wide footprint.
Typical applications
Thanks to the greater bath depth, the IB HF 24 eco is particularly suitable for:
- Temperature control of tall vessels such as graduated cylinders or long-necked round-bottom flasks with full immersion depth
- Water baths for density and viscosity determinations where the measuring vessel has to be immersed deeply
- Calibration baths for thermometers and sensors with a longer shaft
- Applications where a shallow standard bath such as the IB 18 eco does not offer sufficient immersion depth
