column thermometer (2) with a pan.
• As the thermostat operating response to
water temperature change is gradual, do
not raise water temperature too quickly.
• The thermostat with its valve open even
slightly under normal temperature must be
replaced.
4) Immerse the thermostat (1) in the water contained in
a beaker and note that the immersed thermostat is in
suspension.
5) Heat the water by placing the beaker on a stove and
observe the rising temperature on a thermometer
