ASTM S103C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 148 to 202C, NIST

ASTM S103C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 148 to 202°C, NIST-Traceable Calibration

The ASTM S103C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a reliable, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mercury thermometers. Designed for precision and safety, it is ideal for use in applications such as solvents distillation and other laboratory processes requiring accurate temperature monitoring.

Key Features:

• Non-Mercury Design: Contains a safe, biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous blue indicating liquid. The vibrant dark blue color ensures easy readability against the white-backed stem, even in low-light conditions.
• Temperature Range: Measures temperatures from 148°C to 202°C, suitable for a variety of high-precision applications.
• Immersion Depth: 3.9 inches (100mm), optimized for accurate readings during partial immersion.
• Division: Graduations of 0.2°C enable precise temperature measurement.
• Length: The thermometer is 16 inches (410mm) in length, making it suitable for use in both small and large laboratory setups.
• Durability: Inspected for cracks, liquid-column separations, and overall integrity, ensuring a dependable tool for your lab.

NIST-Traceable Calibration:

This thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration, providing confidence in its accuracy. The calibration process is conducted in a qualified ISO/IEC-accredited laboratory, ensuring top-tier precision. Highlights of the calibration process include:

• Calibration performed at five temperature points using high-stability liquid baths.
• Direct comparison against a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT).
• Thorough inspection for liquid-column separations and physical defects before testing.

Applications:

• Designed for solvents distillation and other laboratory techniques requiring high accuracy and reliability.
• Suitable for use in ovens and exposed environments when paired with a thermometer well.

Storage and Maintenance:

To maintain the integrity of the thermometer and prevent fluid column separation, always store it vertically using a storage rack. This ensures long-term stability and performance.

Additional Accessories:

• Thermometer Well: Recommended for protecting the thermometer while providing thermal stabilization in ovens or other exposed environments.

With its advanced features, precision calibration, and eco-friendly design, the ASTM S103C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a perfect choice for laboratories focused on safety and accuracy. Whether you're working with solvents, performing distillations, or monitoring oven temperatures, this thermometer delivers reliable results every time.
