Fluid Selection
Other bath fluids can be used in the Product besides the recommended silicone
fluid. Different fluids may have properties that are better suited for a particular
application. This section provides information about bath fluid characteristics to
assist in the selection of a bath fluid and operation of the Product.
Temperature Range
Temperature range is often the foremost consideration you select a bath fluid.
The recommended silicone fluid is among the few bath fluids that can be used
over the entire temperature range of the Product.
The lowest usable temperature is often the point below which the viscosity is too
high or the substance freezes. The highest temperature may be the point at
which the fluid begins to oxidize, deteriorate, polymerize, evaporate, fume, or
burn.
Safety
Hot fluids have potential to cause injury, fire, or damage. Read and follow the
safety guidelines near the front of this manual.
Warning
To prevent personal injury:
• Do not heat bath fluid above its flash point unless it is
necessary, approved, and handled safely. The bath fluid or
its vapor may be flammable.
• Read the fluid’s safety data sheet (SDS) and take necessary
precautions. Some fluids are corrosive, toxic, or irritate the
skin, eyes, nose, and respiratory organs.
• Use a ventilation system to remove vapor.
• Do not use fluids that are corrosive to stainless steel.
If the fluid has a temperature range less than the Product’s full temperature
range, set the Cutout Temperature to a lower temperature so that the fluid cannot
be overheated.
Silicone fluids are among the safest fluids to use in calibration applications
because they have low flammability, low reactivity, and low toxicity.
