Scientific 160L Digital Laboratory Oven – Model 277
The Scientific 160L Digital Laboratory Oven Model 277 is a high-performance laboratory oven designed for accurate drying, ageing, curing, sample conditioning and general thermal testing. Manufactured in South Africa, this robust 160 litre oven combines precise digital temperature control with durable stainless-steel construction for dependable use in research, quality control, educational and industrial laboratories.
With an operating temperature range of 50°C to 250°C, the Model 277 provides controlled, consistent heating across a wide range of laboratory processes. An electronic PID temperature controller, PT100 temperature sensor and solid-state relay provide accurate temperature regulation and responsive control for repeatable laboratory results.
Precise Digital Temperature Control
The Scientific Model 277 uses an electronic PID temperature controller with a digital display for clear monitoring of both the setpoint and process temperature. A high-accuracy PT100 temperature sensor provides dependable temperature measurement, while solid-state relay control supports rapid response and reliable operation.
Temperature variation across the chamber is specified at ±2.0°C, with variation at a single point as low as ±0.3°C under specified operating conditions.
