Mineral Oil for Thiele Tube?
What grade of mineral oil would be best for use in a thiele tube?
I'd assume nearly any grade would be adequate. However, damn near every assumption I've made so far, has been troublesome haha. So I figured I'd ask
the experts  .

I use and like DOT 5 brake fluid, a silicone oil, for all my oil bath needs. It's non-flammable (I think), smells very little, and is good up to
about 250C. You won't like the price though.
The single most important condition for a successful synthesis is good mixing - Nicodem
