ASTM S116C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 18.9 to 25.1C

ASTM S116C Non-Mercury Precision Thermometer, 18.9 to 25.1°C

Overview: Introducing the ASTM S116C Non-Mercury Precision Thermometer, meticulously engineered to offer the performance and accuracy demanded by critical applications. While sharing identical physical and performance characteristics with official ASTM thermometers for their specified uses, this model utilizes an advanced, safe blue indicating liquid. This innovative liquid is not only highly visible against the white-backed stem for easy readability but is also biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Designed for precision measurements within a narrow, critical range, it is an ideal replacement for traditional mercury thermometers, enhancing safety without compromising reliability.

Key Specifications:

• ASTM Equivalent Number: S116C (matching the performance profile of its mercury counterpart)
• Temperature Range: 18.9°C to 25.1°C – specifically calibrated for precise readings within this narrow band.
• Immersion: Total – designed for accurate readings when immersed up to the liquid column.
• Application: Tag Closed Low – specifically suited for applications requiring temperature monitoring under Tag Closed Tester conditions.
• Division: 0.01°C – offering exceptional resolution for highly accurate temperature differentiation.
• Type: Non-Mercury – featuring a safe, blue, organic liquid fill.
• Length: 24 inches (614 mm) – providing ample reach for various setups.
• Construction: High-quality glass for durability and chemical resistance.

Important Usage and Storage Information: To ensure the longevity and continued accuracy of your Non-Mercury Thermometer, always store it vertically. This practice is crucial for preventing fluid column separation, which can impact measurement integrity. We recommend using a dedicated thermometer storage rack for optimal protection.

For applications involving high temperatures or exposed environments such as ovens, consider using a Thermometer Well. This accessory provides both physical protection for the glass laboratory thermometer and aids in thermal stabilization, leading to more consistent and reliable readings. This thermometer is a testament to precision and safety, designed for laboratories, industrial settings, and educational institutions where accurate, environmentally conscious temperature measurement is paramount.
