ASTM S120C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 38.5 to 41.5C

ASTM S120C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 38.5 to 41.5°C – Safe, Precise, and Versatile

The ASTM S120C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a high-precision instrument designed for safe and accurate temperature measurement in laboratory and industrial applications. With a measurement range of 38.5 to 41.5°C and fine graduations of 0.05°C, it ensures reliable readings for critical processes like kinematic viscosity testing and more.

Key Features:

• Safe, Non-Mercury Design: This thermometer uses a non-toxic, biodegradable blue liquid instead of mercury, ensuring safety for users and the environment. The fluid is nonhazardous and eco-friendly.
• Easy-to-Read Display: The dark blue liquid stands out against the white-backed stem, offering excellent visibility and reducing reading errors.
• Durable and Reliable: Engineered to meet stringent ASTM standards, including ASTM E1, E77, and E2251, the thermometer provides consistent performance in demanding environments.
• Total Immersion: Designed for total immersion, ensuring optimal accuracy when fully submerged in the medium being tested.
• Versatility in Applications: Specifically ideal for kinematic viscosity testing, but also suitable for other laboratory and industrial uses within its temperature range.

Specifications:

• ASTM Number: S120C
• Temperature Range: 38.5 to 41.5°C
• Immersion Type: Total
• Graduations: 0.05°C for detailed measurements
• Length: 12.0 in (305 mm)
• Type: Non-Mercury

Applications:

Primarily used for kinematic viscosity testing, the ASTM S120C thermometer is also suitable for use in other laboratory processes requiring precise and safe temperature measurement.

Storage and Maintenance Tips:

To maintain accuracy and prevent fluid column separation, always store the thermometer vertically using a storage rack. This prolongs the life of the thermometer and ensures consistency in readings.

Use with Thermometer Wells:

For environments such as ovens or exposed conditions, a thermometer well is recommended to protect the glass and stabilize temperatures. This ensures optimal performance even in challenging settings.

Compliance with ASTM Standards:

The thermometer meets the following ASTM test methods, guaranteeing suitability for use in regulated processes:

• ASTM E2251
• ASTM E77
• ASTM E1
