Talk:Laboratory bath

Untitled
I'm confused as to why someone chose to redirect "Laboratory bath" to "Heated bath." A heated bath is a type of laboratory bath; "Laboratory bath" is the main article.

Here is an example of at least two vendors who have the same categorical scheme:

1. http://www.coleparmer.com/products/bathsandcirculators/laboratory-baths.asp

They list open tank utility baths, shaking water baths, water bath / magnetic stirrer systems, concentric ring laboratory steaming water baths, heated circulating laboratory water baths, and refrigerated circulating laboratory water baths and immersion chillers all as type of laboratory baths.

2. http://www.manishscientificinstruments.com/laboratory-bath.html

They list serological water baths, curing baths, water baths, low-temperature baths, cylindrical oil baths, laboratory curing baths, constant-temperature baths, and lab water baths as types of laboratory baths.

I propose that this redirect be removed at a minimum. From there, perhaps a brief article with "Further reading" is in order. Some of the brief articles I could see listed as further reading for (or merged into/redirected to) "Laboratory bath" include:

Cooling bath

Heated bath

Laboratory water bath

Oil bath

Unless someone can create a decent counter-argument in a few weeks, I'm going to correct this misdirection. Lostraven (talk) 19:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
