Irwin School Water Bath – 100 °C [2537]

The Irwin School Water Bath is a modern, classroom‑focused heating solution designed specifically for educational laboratories. Built around a standard Gratnells deep tray, it can be conveniently stored in a Gratnells trolley, saving valuable bench and storage space in busy science departments.

With a flexible water capacity of 3–8 litres, the bath uses an innovative shallow‑profile heating element. This design allows just 3 litres of water to provide the equivalent working depth of a traditional 8‑litre water bath, enabling the unit to reach operating temperature more quickly while using less water and energy.

A powerful yet efficient 500 W silicone heating element, combined with a digital temperature controller, maintains water temperature to an accuracy of ±1 °C up to a maximum of 100 °C. Heat is distributed evenly throughout the bath, eliminating the need for stirring and ensuring consistent experimental results.

The removable heating element makes the bath particularly suitable for hard‑water areas, as it can be easily cleaned and maintained. Requiring less water also makes the unit lighter and easier to carry, while its compact footprint provides additional usable bench space.
