Grant Instruments Bridge Plates
for Stainless and Plastic Tanks are accessories designed to provide stability, support, and versatility when using Grant Optima Heated Circulators with various types of tanks. These plates help secure the circulator into the tank, allowing for consistent and uniform temperature distribution, and they also prevent the circulator from moving around or causing disturbances to the liquid in the tank.
Purpose of Bridge Plates:
-
Support and Stability:
Compatibility with Various Tank Materials:
Bridge plates are used to ensure that the circulator pump is securely positioned and properly aligned with the tank. They help prevent the circulator from tipping or shifting during use, which could lead to inaccurate temperature control or even potential damage to the equipment.
Grant Instruments offers bridge plates that are designed to fit both stainless steel tanks and plastic tanks. This means you can use the same circulator with different tank types, making it more versatile for different laboratory needs.Even Heat Distribution:
Proper placement of the circulator using a bridge plate ensures that the liquid within the tank circulates efficiently and evenly, helping maintain consistent temperatures throughout the liquid and improving the accuracy of your experiments or processes. -
Protects the Tank:
The bridge plate can also act as a protective barrier, preventing the circulator from coming into direct contact with the walls of the tank. This is particularly important for plastic tanks, where excessive heat or friction could cause deformation or damage over time. -
Easy to Install:
The plates are designed for quick and simple installation, providing a no-tool solution for securing the circulator into place. This makes the setup process more efficient and user-friendly.
Key Features of Bridge Plates:
- Durability: They are typically constructed from durable materials, ensuring they can withstand the heat, chemicals, and wear typical of laboratory environments.
- Adjustable Fit: Many bridge plates are adjustable, allowing for a secure fit across different tank sizes and circulator models. This gives you flexibility when working with various setups.
- Compatibility: The plates are designed to work with both stainless steel tanks (which offer high resistance to corrosion and high temperatures) and plastic tanks (which are lightweight and resistant to certain chemicals but may not handle very high temperatures as well).
- Enhanced Performance: By improving the positioning of the circulator and ensuring better fluid movement, bridge plates contribute to improved heat transfer efficiency, making your heating process more reliable.
Types of Tanks These Bridge Plates Support:
- Stainless Steel Tanks:Stainless steel is a popular material for tanks used with heated circulators because it offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and high thermal conductivity, which helps ensure rapid and even heat distribution. These tanks are commonly used in more demanding applications where high temperatures and reliability are essential.
- Plastic Tanks: Plastic tanks are often used in situations where lower temperatures or cost-effective solutions are needed. They are lightweight and easier to handle but are typically limited to lower temperature ranges. The bridge plate for plastic tanks ensures compatibility and optimal performance even when working with these materials.
