Oil Bath For Electrical Lab Training

Oil Bath - Test for resistance to oil for fittings for rigid non-metallic conduits is carried out by immersing the test specimen in insulation oil maintained at a temperature of 60 ± 1°C for a period of 48 hours. After this period, the fitting is taken out and kept at room temperature for 15 minutes. The fitting is than examined for the affect of oil.   The  Oil Bath for testing resistance to oil for fittings for rigid non-metallic conduits has double walled construction, with inner walls made of mild steel sheet and outer walls of CRCA sheet. The space between the two walls is filled with thermally insulating mineral wool. The top of the bath is made of stainless steel sheet and it is also provided with a stainless steel sheet lid. The oil in the bath is heated with the help of an electric heater and its temperature indicated and controlled by a digital temperature indicator-cum-controller. A motor-operated stirrer keeps the temperature uniform inside the bath. The equipment is complete with switch, fuse, indicators etc
