ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -20 to 120C, NIST Calibration
ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer has a total measurement range from -20 to 120C, with graduations of 0.2 degrees. These total immersion thermometers are specified for use in gravity testing, and can be used for other applications within their range. Total length is 16.7in (425mm).
ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers meet standard test method requirements for use in their referenced applications. The liquid-in-glass thermometers have the same performance characteristics as ASTM Mercury Thermometers, but use safe blue liquid as an alternative to mercury. The proprietary formula is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous. Dark blue color is easily read against the white-backed stem.
Features:
- Meets ASTM E1, E77, E2251 requirements
- Non-hazardous, biodegradable indicating fluid
- Dark blue fluid is highly visible against white-backed stem
- Acceptable for use in Saybolt Viscosity Testing
Comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. The NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration is a five-point calibration certificate from an ISO/IEC accredited laboratory. This accreditation is your assurance that the calibration is performed in a qualified, controlled lab. The calibration on the glass thermometer is performed using direct comparison in a high-stability liquid bath with a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) and displays. The thermometer is also inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations before testing. Measurements are performed at 5 temperature points.

Thermometers Calibrated: Calibrate for Accurate Readings
The ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a versatile and reliable tool for temperature measurement. With a temperature range of -20 to 120C and graduations of 0.2 degrees, this total immersion thermometer is ideal for gravity testing and can be used in various other applications within its range.
Unlike traditional mercury thermometers, the ASTM S12C uses a safe and eco-friendly blue liquid as an alternative. This proprietary formula is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, ensuring the safety of both users and the environment. The dark blue color of the liquid is highly visible against the white-backed stem, making it easy to read and interpret temperature values.
To guarantee accuracy and reliability, each ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. This certificate is proof that the calibration of the thermometer has been performed in a qualified and controlled laboratory, following ISO/IEC standards. The calibration process involves direct comparison with a Precision Reference Thermometer and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer, ensuring precise and consistent temperature readings. The thermometer is also inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations before testing.
With a total length of 16.7 inches (425mm), the ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer is long enough for convenient use and accessibility. However, it is important to store this thermometer vertically to prevent fluid column separation. Consider using a thermometer storage rack to keep it in the proper position.
For additional protection and thermal stabilization, you can use the Thermometer Well designed specifically for glass laboratory thermometers used in ovens and other exposed environments.
If you are looking for a reliable and safe temperature measurement tool, the ASTM S12C Non-Mercury Thermometer provides accurate readings and meets ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements. Whether you need it for gravity testing or other applications, this thermometer is a trustworthy choice. Pair it with the full line of ASTM Mercury Filled Thermometers or explore other options in the ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers range.
