1. Heat or cool the sample (with sensor inserted) in a water

bath.

2. Once the sample temperature has equilibrated to the

desired water bath temperature, turn the water bath off.

3. Allow enough time for the water bath to become abso-

lutely still, and make the measurement.

NOTE: Experimental results from researchers have shown that the

KD2-Pro KS-1 sensor can make accurate measurements in water and

aqueous solutions up to about 50 C. Above this temperature, the viscos-

ity of the water becomes too low and free convection begins to affect the

measurement.

ties of liquids, download the application note or watch the
