Oil Bath Digital 7L Overview
The Oil Bath Digital 7L (Yamato Scientific BO601) is a compact bench oil bath holding a 7 L reservoir and heating from room temperature +5°C up to 180°C. Yamato Scientific engineered this unit for high-temperature sample work where a water bath cannot reach the required setpoint. LabSupplies.com supplies it as an authorized dealer.
Microprocessor PID control drives a 1 kW SUS316 pipe heater, with a K thermocouple reading temperature and holding ±2°C accuracy at 100°C. A protected oil tank shields operators from contact burns, and an integrated drain simplifies fluid changes. Exterior panels use chrome-free electrogalvanized carbon steel with a chemical-proof baked-on coating.
Power draw is AC 115V at 11A, and the bath measures W310 × D360 × H230 mm at roughly 8 kg net. Built in Japan, the unit carries ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 manufacturing certifications. Its small footprint suits crowded benches without sacrificing reservoir volume.
Key Features
- Digital PID control: microprocessor-driven temperature regulation with ▲/▼ key setting and digital display.
- Protected oil tank: aluminum-alloy reservoir cover guards against contact burns during operation.
- Integrated drain: built-in drain port makes oil changes and maintenance straightforward.
- Operation modes: fixed temperature, quick auto-stop, auto stop, and auto start functions for unattended runs.
- Multilayer safety: self-diagnostic overheat prevention, sensor-error and heater-disconnection detection, circuit protector, and thermal fuse.
- Convenience functions: keypad lock, power-failure recovery, and calibration offset for repeatable results.
How to Choose the Right Oil Bath
Selecting an oil bath comes down to matching reservoir volume, maximum temperature, and control type to your protocol. Use these criteria to confirm the BO601 fits your workflow before ordering.
- Capacity: the 7 L reservoir (I.D. 250 × D150 mm) determines how many vessels you can submerge at once; size it to your batch.
- Temperature range: a ceiling of 180°C lets oil reach setpoints a water bath cannot, suiting high-temperature reactions and viscosity work.
- Control type: digital PID setting holds ±2°C at 100°C, important when protocols demand a stable, repeatable temperature.
- Voltage: this model runs on standard AC 115V at 11A; verify your circuit can supply the 1 kW heater load.
- Footprint: compact W310 × D360 × H230 mm dimensions matter when bench space is limited.
- Safety devices: self-diagnostics, a circuit protector, and a thermal fuse protect personnel and samples during unattended operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the temperature range of the Yamato BO601 oil bath?
The BO601 heats from room temperature +5°C up to 180°C. PID control holds ±2°C accuracy at 100°C, making it suitable for high-temperature work beyond the reach of a water bath.
What is the reservoir capacity and footprint?
The reservoir holds approximately 7 L with an inner diameter of 250 mm and depth of 150 mm. External dimensions are W310 × D360 × H230 mm, and net weight is about 8 kg.
Does the BO601 run on a standard 115V circuit?
Yes. The BO601 operates on AC 115V drawing 11A, powering a 1 kW SUS316 pipe heater. Confirm your circuit can supply that load before installation.
How does the bath protect operators from burns?
A protected oil tank with an aluminum-alloy cover shields users from contact with the hot reservoir. The unit also includes self-diagnostic overheat prevention, a circuit protector, and a thermal fuse.
What materials is the BO601 constructed from?
The exterior uses chrome-free electrogalvanized carbon steel sheet metal with a chemical-proof baked-on coating. The protective reservoir cover is aluminum alloy, and the plates are resin. The heater is a SUS316 pipe element.
How are temperature settings managed on this unit?
Settings are entered digitally using ▲/▼ keys and shown on a digital display. A microprocessor manages PID control, and operation modes include fixed temperature, quick auto-stop, auto stop, and auto start.
