ASTM Equivalent S47C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 58.6 to 61.4C

Precision and Safety: The S47C Non-Mercury ASTM Equivalent Thermometer

In laboratories where precision and safety are paramount, the S47C Non-Mercury Thermometer offers an advanced solution for critical temperature measurements. Specifically calibrated for a range of 58.6 to 61.4°C, this instrument delivers performance that mirrors traditional ASTM mercury thermometers, but with significant advantages in environmental responsibility and user safety.

Engineered for Accuracy, Designed for Safety While awaiting formal review and acceptance by ASTM, this thermometer is meticulously manufactured to exhibit physical and performance characteristics identical to established ASTM standards for its referenced applications. This ensures that users can rely on its accuracy and consistency in demanding scientific and industrial environments.

At the heart of its innovative design is a proprietary, safe blue indicating liquid. This advanced fluid is completely biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, eliminating the risks associated with mercury spills, broken glass, and costly disposal. The distinct dark blue color of the liquid provides exceptional contrast against the bright white-backed stem, ensuring quick, accurate, and effortless temperature readings, even in challenging lighting conditions.

• Immersion: Total (designed for accurate readings when immersed to the indication mark)
• Primary Application: Kinematic Viscosity testing, crucial for quality control in industries like petroleum, lubricants, and polymers.
• Resolution (Division): 0.05°C, offering high-precision measurements for critical applications.
• Type: Non-Mercury
• Total Length: 12.6 inches (320mm)

Compliance and Best Practices: This thermometer is rigorously tested and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of several key ASTM Test Methods, including:

• ASTM E2251
• ASTM E77
• ASTM E1

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your non-mercury thermometer, proper storage is essential. Always store these thermometers vertically using a dedicated storage rack. This practice is vital to prevent fluid column separation, a common issue that can compromise reading precision and shorten the instrument's operational lifespan.

For applications involving ovens, baths, or other exposed environments where thermal stability and physical protection are required, consider utilizing a Thermometer Well. This accessory provides robust physical safeguarding while also contributing to thermal stabilization, ensuring your thermometer maintains optimal conditions for consistent and accurate measurements.
