The Yamato BO-601-115V is a 7 L digital constant-temperature oil bath that heats to 180 °C for applications beyond the reach of a water bath, viscosity work, extraction, sample conditioning, and rotary-evaporator heating. PID control with a digital setpoint holds ±2 °C at 100 °C, and a 1 kW SUS316 heater with a protected oil tank keeps operation stable and safe. This is the 115V unit (AC115V, 11 A).

Application Profile
The choice between a water bath and an oil bath comes down to temperature: water tops out near 95–100 °C, so any process that needs a stable liquid bath above that requires oil. The Yamato BO-601-115V covers room temperature +5 °C to 180 °C, making it the bath for higher-temperature sample conditioning, viscosity and reaction work, and as the heating source under a rotary evaporator flask.
At 7 L with a 1 kW SUS316 heater and ±2 °C control at 100 °C, it heats efficiently and holds a steady setpoint under PID control. A protected oil tank and bath protection cover guard operators from burns, while self-diagnostic safety (automatic overheat prevention, sensor-error and heater-disconnect detection) protects the run. Quick-auto-stop and auto start/stop functions round out unattended operation. Use a heat-transfer oil rated above your maximum setpoint and mind flash-point limits when working near 180 °C.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the Yamato BO-601-115V reach? Room temperature +5 °C up to 180 °C, with ±2 °C control accuracy at 100 °C.
Why choose an oil bath over a water bath? Water baths are limited to roughly 95–100 °C; an oil bath is required for stable liquid heating above that. Use the correct heat-transfer oil for your setpoint.
How much fluid does it hold? A ~7 L stainless oil tank (I.D. 250 × 150 mm).
Is it safe for higher-temperature work? Yes, a protected oil tank, bath protection cover, and self-diagnostic overheat/sensor/heater safeguards are built in; still observe the oil's flash-point limits.
Which voltage is this? This is the 115V BO601 (AC115V, 11 A).
Ordering & Configuration

Yamato BO oil baths:
- BO-601-115V (this product): 7 L, to 180 °C, digital PID, 115V
- BO500. 5.2 L, to 199 °C (pairs with MB800 magnetic stirrer)
Choose the BO601 for a straightforward 7 L digital oil bath; step to a stirred configuration when the sample needs agitation.
