ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 155 to 170C, NIST

Precision and Safety: ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer with NIST Calibration

Experience reliable and environmentally responsible temperature measurement with our ASTM S13C Equivalent Non-Mercury Thermometer. Engineered to meet the exacting physical and performance specifications of ASTM S13C thermometers, this instrument delivers comparable accuracy for your critical applications, while prioritizing safety and compliance.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Non-Mercury Safety: This thermometer utilizes a safe, blue indicating liquid that is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. It eliminates the risks associated with mercury thermometers, simplifying handling, cleanup, and disposal in laboratory and industrial settings, aligning with modern safety and environmental regulations.
• Exceptional Readability: The distinct dark blue indicating liquid stands out sharply against the white-backed stem, ensuring quick, clear, and unambiguous temperature readings, even in varying light conditions.
• ASTM S13C Performance: Designed to adhere to the stringent requirements of the ASTM S13C standard, this thermometer provides consistent and accurate results for its intended applications. While not formally reviewed and accepted by ASTM as a branded product for all purposes, its construction and performance characteristics are functionally identical to the referenced ASTM standard.
• NIST Traceable Calibration: Each thermometer comes with a comprehensive five-point NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. Performed by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, this guarantees that your calibration is executed in a controlled, qualified environment. Calibration involves direct comparison in a high-stability liquid bath against highly accurate Precision Reference Thermometers (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRT). Before testing, each unit undergoes rigorous inspection for cracks and liquid-column separations, ensuring integrity and accuracy.

Ideal for "Loss on Heat" and Other High-Temperature Applications:

This thermometer is perfectly suited for precise temperature monitoring in procedures such as "Loss on Heat" tests, where consistent and accurate readings between 155°C and 170°C are paramount. Its robust design ensures stability in demanding environments.

Detailed Specifications:

• ASTM Number: S13C (Equivalent Performance)
• Temperature Range: 155 to 170°C
• Immersion: Total (Ensures accurate readings by immersing the entire liquid column)
• Application: Loss on Heat (Specifically designed for this and similar high-temperature applications)
• Division: 0.5°C (Provides precise temperature resolution)
• Type: Non-Mercury
• Length: 6.9 inches (175mm)

Care and Accessories:

• Storage: To maintain the integrity of the fluid column and prevent separation, always store non-mercury thermometers vertically, ideally using a dedicated storage rack.
• Thermometer Well: For enhanced protection and thermal stabilization when used in ovens or other exposed environments, consider utilizing a thermometer well. This accessory shields the glass from direct heat fluctuations and potential damage..
