IKA C-MAG HP 7 Hotplate, Ceramic Surface 180 x 180 mm, Without Stirring Function, 0003581800
Not every workstation needs a stirrer as well, for example when stirring is done externally and a water bath is only to be temperature-controlled or a vessel is only to be heated. The IKA C-MAG HP 7 (0003581800) is a hotplate without magnetic stirring function, with 1000 watts of heating power, a ceramic surface measuring 180 x 180 millimetres and a heating temperature range of 50 to 500 degrees Celsius. It is technically derived from the proven C-MAG HS series, but without the stirring drive. 1000 watts of heating power without stirring function The ceramic plate transfers the heating power directly to the vessel placed on it and covers a temperature range of 50 to 500 degrees Celsius, set with a rotary knob with an accuracy of 5 Kelvin. According to the data sheet, the heating rate is 5 Kelvin per minute, a guide value for estimating how quickly a given volume of water reaches the set temperature. As no stirring drive is fitted, the otherwise usual speed scale is omitted and operation is limited to setting the temperature. According to the manufacturer, a volume of up to 10 litres of water can be heated with it. Can be extended with external temperature measurement in the medium Via the connection socket according to DIN 12878, an ETS-D5 contact thermometer can be retrofitted to measure the temperature directly in the medium instead of only at the plate surface, which is practical for oil baths, for example, or when an externally driven stirrer is already part of the setup. The sensor itself is not included in the scope of delivery. Compact design for integration into existing setups With dimensions of 220 x 105 x 330 millimetres and a weight of 4.4 kilograms, the HP 7 can be integrated into existing experimental setups without taking up much space, for example underneath a stand with a separate stirrer or as a plain heat source for an oil bath, without having to allow extra space for a stirring unit. Protection class IP 21 protects against vertically falling water drops. Easy integration into existing setups Because the electronics of the HP 7 are designed exclusively for the heating function, operation is reduced to a single rotary knob for the set temperature, with no scale or control for a speed that does not exist anyway. This makes the unit an uncomplicated addition to setups in which a separate stirrer, for example an overhead stirrer with its own stand, is already available and only a reliable heat source underneath is missing. Typical applications As a hotplate without stirring function, the C-MAG HP 7 is technically suited for: Heating vessels and oil baths without a simultaneous need for stirring Combination with separately driven stirrers, for example overhead stirrers Temperature control of reaction blocks or carrier plates from the IKA accessories range Simple heat source in teaching and training laboratories Replacement purchase for workstations where a separate stirrer is already available Selection guide: hotplate only or heating magnetic stirrer Within the C-MAG family, IKA basically distinguishes between HS models with stirring and heating and HP models with heating function only: ModelStirringVolume (H2O)Heating powerPlate size C-MAG HP 7 (this unit)no10 l1000 W180 x 180 mm C-MAG HP 4no5 l250 W100 x 100 mm C-MAG HS 7yes, 100 to 1500 rpm10 l1000 W180 x 180 mm C-MAG HS 10yes, 100 to 1500 rpm15 l1500 W260 x 260 mm If stirring is done anyway or a stirrer is not needed at all, the hotplate only saves purchase costs compared with an HS model with the same heating rating. As soon as stirring and heating are required together in one unit, one of the HS models is the more suitable choice. Differences from the heating magnetic stirrers and the smaller HP 4 The IKA C-MAG HP 4 covers smaller volumes of up to 5 litres with a smaller plate area and 250 watts of heating power and does not have a connection for an external contact thermometer. If stirring is required in addition to heating, the IKA C-MAG HS 7 and the IKA C-MAG HS 10 offer the same heating technology with an integrated stirring drive. For larger heating surfaces of up to 260 x 260 millimetres, IKA also offers the C-MAG HP 10 as a hotplate only, and for smaller batches the C-MAG HS 4 is available as a more compact alternative with stirring function.

An external temperature sensor such as the ETS-D5 is likewise not included in the scope of delivery. Use, installation, maintenance and disposal With protection class IP 21, the C-MAG HP 7 is protected against vertically falling water drops and is designed for operation in a fume hood or on a stable, level laboratory bench at up to 80 percent relative humidity. As no stirrer is fitted, the plate is particularly suitable for installation underneath separate stirring drives or stands. Sufficient clearance for cables and accessories should be ensured here. The ceramic surface is chemically resistant but should be allowed to cool before cleaning. At the end of its service life, the hotplate, as an electrical appliance, does not belong in household waste but in separate collection of waste electrical equipment; the manufacturer's WEEE registration number is DE 66784213. Cost logic: when it pays to do without a stirring function If a separate stirrer, for example an overhead stirrer, is already in use, or if no stirring is needed for the application at all, the hotplate only saves noticeable purchase costs compared with an HS model with identical heating power, without compromising on the actual heating function. This applies in particular when several workstations with different stirrers are to use the same heating power, for example in practical course rooms with permanently mounted stands. For standard workstations where stirring and heating are typically needed together, an HS model is usually the more economical overall solution, because it makes an additional stirrer unnecessary. Individual requirements & procurement service For the C-MAG HP 7, suitable original accessories are available on request, such as the ETS-D5 contact thermometer, stand material, carrier plates, oil bath attachments and reaction blocks of different volumes. Through our procurement service we also support you with spare parts, calibrations and the assembly of several workstations with uniform accessories. For further information and contact options, see lt-laborhandel.com/service. Frequently asked questions Can the C-MAG HP 7 also stir?No, the HP 7 is a hotplate without magnetic stirring drive. The HS models of the C-MAG series are available for this. Is an external temperature sensor included in the scope of delivery?No, the connection socket according to DIN 12878 is present, but an ETS-D5 contact thermometer has to be purchased separately. How does the HP 7 differ from the smaller HP 4?With 1000 instead of 250 watts, the HP 7 offers a considerably higher heating power, a larger plate of 180 x 180 millimetres and, in addition, a connection for an external contact thermometer, which the HP 4 does not have. What is the maximum volume that can be heated?According to the manufacturer, up to 10 litres of water. Is the HP 7 suitable for an oil bath?The hotplate itself is designed for direct heat transfer to vessels placed on it. For oil bath applications, IKA offers suitable oil bath attachments in its accessories range, which can be placed on the 180 x 180 millimetre plate. Does accessory equipment from the HS series also fit the HP 7?Carrier plates, reaction blocks and oil bath attachments from the IKA accessories range are designed for the 180 x 180 millimetre surface of the HP 7 and are generally also compatible with other C-MAG models of the same plate size, for example the C-MAG HS 7. How is the C-MAG HP 7 disposed of properly?As an electrical appliance, it belongs at a collection point for waste electrical equipment rather than in household waste. The manufacturer's WEEE registration number is given in the section Use, installation, maintenance and disposal.
IKA C-MAG HP 4 Hotplate, Ceramic Support Surface 100 x 100 mm, 250 Watt, 0003581600
For a single flask, a small Petri dish or occasional heating without much space requirement, a full-sized hotplate is often not worthwhile. The IKA C-MAG HP 4 (0003581600) is the most compact pure hotplate of the C-MAG family, with a ceramic support surface of just 100 x 100 millimetres, 250 watts of heating power and a weight of only 2.44 kilograms. Compact ceramic support surface for small vessels The ceramic support surface of 100 x 100 millimetres is deliberately designed for smaller vessels and volumes of up to 5 litres of water and covers a heating temperature range of 50 to 500 degrees Celsius, set via a simple rotary knob with a setting accuracy of 5 kelvin, without the additional display and control functions of the larger HS models. With 250 watts of heating power, the heating rate is 2.5 kelvin per minute, lower than with the larger C-MAG HP models, but sufficient for smaller batches and spot heating. Lightweight for mobile use With dimensions of 150 x 105 x 260 millimetres and a weight of only 2.44 kilograms, the HP 4 can easily be moved between workstations or accommodated in small fume cupboards where there is no room for larger hotplates. The protection class IP 21 protects against vertically falling drops of water. No option for external temperature measurement Unlike the larger C-MAG HP and HS models, the HP 4 has no connection for an external contact thermometer according to the technical data table. Temperature control takes place exclusively via the plate surface, a deliberate omission in favour of the compact, simple design. For applications in which the exact temperature in the medium itself must be documented, this is a relevant exclusion criterion that should be checked before purchase. Economical entry into the C-MAG series With 250 watts of heating power, the HP 4 is well below the 1000 watts of the C-MAG HP 7 and HS models, and the purchase price and the running power consumption in continuous operation across several workstations are correspondingly lower. For laboratories that have to equip several workstations with simple heating tasks without every position needing high heating power or a sensor socket, the HP 4 allows a larger number of positions to be equipped at reasonable cost. Typical applications As the most compact and lightest hotplate of the C-MAG family, the HP 4 is technically suited above all to small-volume, non-critical heating tasks: Heating individual small vessels up to 5 litres volume Workstations with limited space, for example in small fume cupboards Simple heat source in training and routine laboratories without any requirement for medium temperature measurement Second device for spot heating tasks alongside a larger main device Mobile use thanks to a low weight of 2.44 kilograms Selection guide: HP 4 compared with larger C-MAG hotplates Within the C-MAG HP series, the HP 4 marks the entry point, with clear differences in surface area, power and sensor connection: ModelPlate sizeVolume (H2O)Heating powerExternal sensor C-MAG HP 4 (this device)100 x 100 mm5 l250 Wnot provided C-MAG HP 7180 x 180 mm10 l1000 WETS-D5 (DIN 12878) Anyone who wants to heat larger vessels or use external temperature measurement in the medium is better served by the C-MAG HP 7. For small, non-critical heating tasks with limited space, the HP 4 remains the more compact and more economical choice, especially if several workstations are to be equipped in parallel with simple heating tasks without every position needing a connection to an external contact thermometer. Differentiation from the larger HP 7 and from heating magnetic stirrers The IKA C-MAG HP 7 offers, with 1000 watts of heating power, a larger surface and a connection for an external contact thermometer, considerably more reserves for larger volumes. If stirring is required in addition to heating, the IKA C-MAG HS 7 or, for very small volumes, the mini magnetic stirrer topolino are the more suitable devices, although the latter has no heating function.

A connection for an external contact thermometer is not provided on this model. Application, installation, maintenance and disposal With protection class IP 21, the C-MAG HP 4 is protected against vertically falling drops of water and is designed for operation in a fume cupboard or on a stable laboratory bench at up to 80 per cent relative humidity. Because of its compact design and low weight, the plate is also suitable for mobile use between several workstations or for transport between different rooms and floors, but it should be cooled down and disconnected from the mains before being moved. The ceramic surface is chemical-resistant, but should be allowed to cool and be disconnected from the mains before cleaning. At the end of its service life, the hotplate, as an electrical device, does not belong in household waste but in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment; the manufacturer's WEEE registration number is DE 66784213. Investment logic: when the compact HP 4 is sufficient For small vessels up to 5 litres, spot heating without any requirement for a temperature measured in the medium, and cramped space conditions, the HP 4 is the most economical solution within the C-MAG family and covers a large part of simple laboratory routines without power reserves remaining unused. As soon as larger volumes, more heating power or external temperature measurement are needed, there is no way around the C-MAG HP 7 or an HS model with stirring function, and the additional cost is then covered by the additional range of functions. For training laboratories with many parallel but non-critical workstations, purchasing several HP 4 units can make more sense than a few larger hotplates. Individual requirements & procurement service Suitable original accessories such as fixing elements and holders are available for the C-MAG HP 4 if required, as are certificates and attestations for qualification documentation according to IQ/OQ, for example for regulated quality control environments. Through our procurement service, we also support you with spare parts, calibrations and the configuration of several workstations with uniform accessories. You will find further information and contact options at lt-laborhandel.com/service. Frequently asked questions What vessel sizes is the 100 x 100 millimetre plate designed for?The surface is designed for smaller standard vessels such as Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers or Petri dishes up to a volume of 5 litres and thus offers sufficient support area for most routine small-scale batches. Can the C-MAG HP 4 also stir?No, the HP 4 is a pure hotplate without a magnetic stirring drive. For stirring and heating in one device, IKA offers the C-MAG HS series. Can an external temperature sensor be connected?No, according to the technical data table, the HP 4 has no connection for an external contact thermometer, unlike the larger HP 7. What is the maximum volume that can be heated?According to the manufacturer, up to 5 litres of water. How quickly does the plate heat up?According to the data sheet, the heating rate is 2.5 kelvin per minute, which is about half as fast as the more powerful C-MAG HP 7 at 5 kelvin per minute, but usually quick enough for small volumes. Which voltage variants are available?In addition to the standard 230 volt version, further voltage variants with 120 volts and 100 volts are available according to the data sheet, each at a mains frequency of 50 or 60 hertz. Is the HP 4 suitable for mobile use between workstations?With a weight of 2.44 kilograms and compact dimensions, the HP 4 can be moved comparatively easily. How is the C-MAG HP 4 disposed of properly?As an electrical device, it belongs at a waste electrical equipment collection point instead of in household waste. The manufacturer's WEEE registration number is given in the section Application, installation, maintenance and disposal.

IKA HB digital Heating Bath, 4 Litre, Water/Oil, 180 °C, 0020016334
Not every temperature control task in the laboratory requires compressor cooling. Where only a heating bath up to 180 degrees Celsius is needed, for example for extractions, solvent evaporation or viscosity measurements at elevated temperature, a plain heating bath is sufficient. The IKA HB digital provides 1400 watts of heating power, a capacity of up to 4 litres and a stainless steel vessel (material 1.4404) in contact with the product, which works with both water and silicone oil as the temperature control medium. As an open bath without an integrated circulation pump, it is aimed at anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use heating bath for direct use, without needing the additional equipment of an external circuit. Heating power and control accuracy up to 180 degrees Celsius The heating temperature range extends from room temperature to 180 degrees Celsius, set with a rotary knob with a setting accuracy of 1 Kelvin and read on an LCD display. With 3 litres of water at 90 degrees Celsius, the controller fluctuation is ±1 Kelvin and the absolute deviation from the mean value is ±2 Kelvin. With 3 litres of silicone oil (50 mPas) at 150 degrees Celsius, the controller fluctuation is ±2 Kelvin and the absolute deviation is ±4 Kelvin. This separate statement for water and oil shows that the control accuracy varies depending on the medium and the target temperature, an aspect that is relevant when choosing the temperature control medium for precision-critical applications. Open bath without external circulation, but compact and robust Unlike a circulating thermostat, the HB digital has no pump for the external connection of further devices. It is designed as an open bath for the direct heating of vessels in the bath itself. The inner diameter of the bath vessel is 225 millimetres with an inner height of 130 millimetres, and the minimum filling level is 60 millimetres. A fixed safety circuit at 190 degrees Celsius and an additionally adjustable safety circuit between 50 and 190 degrees Celsius protect against unintentional overheating, in line with the classification according to DIN 12876 Class II. Heating bath, heating bath circulator or heating and cooling unit: choosing the right design Anyone who needs only an open bath without an external connection is well served by the HB digital. If the same warm water bath is also to supply externally connected vessels or double-jacketed reactors, the IKA HBC 5 basic and the IKA HBC 10 control as heating bath circulators offer an integrated circulation pump for exactly this purpose. If active cooling is also required in addition to heating, for example for temperature cycles below room temperature, the IKA RC 2 lite as a pure recirculating chiller or the IKA HRC 2 lite as a combined heating and cooling unit is the more suitable choice. Typical applications As a compact heating bath with a stainless steel vessel and a temperature range up to 180 degrees Celsius, the HB digital is suitable for the following, among other uses: Heating and temperature control of samples in water or oil baths, for example during extractions or evaporation processes Viscosity measurements and other applications with temperature-dependent material properties at elevated temperature Heating reaction vessels or flasks that are suspended directly in the open bath Installation, operation and ongoing use It is operated via a rotary knob with LCD display, and a USB interface (Micro-USB) allows connection to a PC or software for logging temperature curves. The housing dimensions are 330 x 190 x 325 millimetres and the weight is 3.9 kilograms. The outer diameter of the bath vessel is 257 millimetres. The power consumption is 1450 watts in operation and only 3 watts in standby. The permissible ambient temperature range is 5 to 40 degrees Celsius at a maximum of 80 percent relative humidity, and the housing is protected to IP 21 according to DIN EN 60529. Care of the stainless steel bath vessel The vessel made of stainless steel 1.4404 that comes into contact with the product is corrosion-resistant to the usual temperature control media, water and silicone oil, and is easy to clean after cooling down. Before filling, it is advisable to note the minimum filling level of 60 millimetres, as with too low a level the safety circuit may trigger early or temperature stability may suffer. After prolonged operation with oil as the temperature control medium, the bath vessel should be cleaned thoroughly before changing the medium, to avoid carry-over between the media. Why the choice of temperature control medium affects accuracy When making the investment decision, it is worth considering the planned temperature control medium: for applications with water up to around 90 degrees Celsius, the absolute deviation of ±2 Kelvin is within a narrower range than with higher-viscosity oil baths at 150 degrees Celsius with ±4 Kelvin. Anyone who regularly works in the upper temperature range with oil and needs tighter control accuracy should check these values against the requirements of their own method before deciding on a standard heating bath. For most routine applications up to 180 degrees Celsius, however, the accuracy of the HB digital is sufficient, without the need for a more expensive equipment level with a circulation pump. Regarding the filling quantity: the closer the bath is operated to the maximum filling volume of 4 litres, the longer it takes at a constant heating power of 1400 watts for the bath to reach the target temperature, an aspect that affects throughput time in everyday laboratory work when set temperatures change frequently.

At the end of its service life, the device must not be disposed of with household waste but must be taken to a separate collection for waste electrical equipment. Frequently asked questions about the HB digital Can the HB digital also supply external devices with warm water?No, the HB digital has no circulation pump and is designed as an open bath for direct heating in the bath itself. The heating bath circulators of the HBC series are suitable for external connection. Up to what temperature can the HB digital be operated?The heating temperature range extends from room temperature to 180 degrees Celsius, safeguarded by a fixed safety circuit at 190 degrees Celsius. Which media can be used in the bath?According to the controller data, both water and silicone oil are intended as temperature control media, each with its own accuracy specifications for controller fluctuation and absolute deviation. How large is the bath vessel?The inner diameter is 225 millimetres with an inner height of 130 millimetres, the filling volume is a maximum of 4 litres and the minimum filling level is 60 millimetres. What material is the bath vessel made of?The material in contact with the product is stainless steel 1.4404. Can the HB digital be connected to a PC?Yes, via the Micro-USB interface provided, the device can be connected to a PC or logging software. What distinguishes the HB digital from a circulating thermostat?A circulating thermostat has an integrated pump for connecting external devices, whereas the HB digital is a plain, open heating bath without a pump function. How long does heating up to the target temperature take?The exact heating time depends on the filling quantity, the starting temperature and the selected medium. With 1400 watts of heating power and a maximum filling volume of 4 litres, the following applies: the larger the filling quantity and the higher the target temperature, the longer the heating time. Individual requirements & procurement service Our procurement service will support you with suitable accessories such as a protective cover or an intermediate shelf for smaller vessels.

IKA C-MAG HP 10 hotplate, with glass-ceramic work surface, 0003582000
Thermodynamic efficiency and material resistance The IKA C-MAG HP 10 is a high-performance heating system specially developed for the thermal treatment of large-volume media and aggressive chemical substances. With a heating power of 1500 W and a footprint of 260 x 260 mm, the unit enables significant thermal energy transfer. The monolithic glass-ceramic plate is characterised by excellent chemical inertness and high resistance to thermal cycling. The material’s low thermal expansion ensures a flat surface even at maximum operating temperatures, which minimises the thermal contact resistance to the vessel. Metrological precision and system reliability The thermal parameters are controlled via a digital display, which allows precise monitoring of the setpoints. To regulate the medium temperature, the C-MAG HP 10 features an integrated interface in accordance with DIN 12878, which enables the connection of external contact thermometers (e.g. ETS-D5). The safety architecture comprises a fixed safety circuit at 550 °C and a visual ‘Hot Top’ warning indicator. The latter acts as a preventive safety mechanism against thermal injuries by detecting residual heat in the plate even after the heating function has been deactivated, as long as the surface temperature remains above 50 °C. Technical details Thermodynamics & Heating Technology Heating power: 1500 W Heating temperature range: 50 to 500 °C Heating temperature setting accuracy: ± 10 K Fixed safety cut-off: 550 °C Heating rate (1 l H₂O in H15): 5 K/min Metrology & Control Engineering Display: Digital LCD (setpoint) Connection for external temperature sensor: DIN 12878 (e.g. PT 1000) Control accuracy with sensor: ± 3 K Residual heat indicator: Visual warning signal (Hot Top indicator) Material Properties & Mechanics Surface material: Glass-ceramic (vitroceramic) Cooktop surface dimensions: 260 x 260 mm Housing material: Cast aluminium / corrosion-resistant plastic Chamber structure & dimensions Dimensions (W x H x D): 300 x 105 x 415 mm Weight: 6 kg Permissible ambient temperature range: 5 to 40 °C Permissible relative humidity: 80% Protection class according to DIN EN 60529: IP 21 Voltage: 230 V (50/60 Hz) Power consumption: 1505 W Contents of delivery 1 x IKA C-MAG HP 10 hotplate 1 x mains cable 1 x operating instructions Important note: An external temperature sensor (e.g. PT 1000) for direct control of the medium temperature is not included as standard and must be configured separately. Customised requirements & accessories For precise thermodynamic control in the liquid phase, an external resistance thermometer (PT 1000) or an electronic contact thermometer (ETS-D series) must be connected via the DIN 12878 socket. This enables compensation for the thermal hysteresis of the glass-ceramic hotplate. You can find suitable support rods and cross-sockets for securing the sensor via our procurement service.
IKA HBR 4 control, safety heating bath, 4 litres, 0020003549
Thermodynamics and Fluid Dynamics of Heat Transfer The IKA HBR 4 control is a high-precision heating bath system optimised for temperature control of liquids up to 200 °C. The cylindrical bath geometry, combined with the high-quality stainless steel inner vessel (1.4301), ensures homogeneous temperature distribution within the heat transfer medium (water or low-viscosity oils). The specific arrangement of the heating elements induces efficient convection, which minimises thermal gradients and thus creates isothermal conditions for the sample vessel. The system is designed for a maximum heating power of 1000 W to achieve fast heating times even with larger volumes. Metrological control and cybernetic safety The heating process is controlled by a microprocessor-controlled PID controller, which ensures excellent stability of the bath temperature. An integrated connection for an external temperature sensor (PT 1000) enables precise measurement of the medium temperature, allowing the control system to respond directly to the kinetic energy of the sample. A key feature of the ‘control’ version is the digital interface (USB/RS232), which allows for comprehensive documentation of thermal processes via Labworldsoft ®. The safety architecture includes an independently adjustable safety temperature limiter, which reliably prevents thermal decomposition of the medium or overheating of the apparatus in the event of system faults.
