ASTM Equivalent S113C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -1 to 175C

S113C Non-Mercury Thermometer: Precision & Safety for Bituminous Softening Point

Experience precise temperature measurement without the risks of mercury with our ASTM Equivalent S113C Non-Mercury Thermometer. Engineered for accuracy, this liquid-in-glass thermometer mirrors the physical and performance characteristics of standard ASTM thermometers for bituminous softening point applications. While currently awaiting formal review and acceptance by ASTM for these specific purposes, its design ensures reliable and consistent results.

Key Features:

• Safety First: Utilizes a safe, blue indicating liquid that is completely biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. This eliminates the environmental and health concerns associated with traditional mercury thermometers.
• Optimal Readability: The vibrant dark blue liquid contrasts sharply against the white-backed stem, ensuring quick and accurate readings even in challenging conditions.
• Broad Temperature Range: Capable of measuring temperatures from -1°C to 175°C, making it ideal for the critical range required for bituminous materials.
• Total Immersion Design: Engineered for total immersion, guaranteeing that the entire sensing portion of the thermometer is exposed to the sample for the most accurate temperature representation.
• Robust Construction: Built to withstand the demands of laboratory environments, offering durability and long-term performance.

Important Usage Notes:

• Storage: To prevent fluid column separation and maintain accuracy, always store Non-Mercury Thermometers vertically using a dedicated storage rack.
• Protection: For use in ovens or other exposed environments, pair with a Thermometer Well. This accessory provides essential protection for the glass and helps stabilize thermal readings, extending the life of your thermometer.
