ASTM S18C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 34 to 42C

ASTM S18C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 34 to 42C

The ASTM S18C Non-Mercury Thermometer is an advanced, environmentally conscious solution for precise temperature measurement in laboratory and industrial settings. Engineered for accuracy and safety, this total immersion thermometer is specifically designed for Saybolt viscosity testing but is also suitable for a wide array of applications requiring precise temperature monitoring within its range of 34 to 42 degrees Celsius.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Exceptional Accuracy: With fine 0.1-degree graduations, the S18C provides highly precise readings, crucial for critical testing procedures.
• Safe, Non-Mercury Design: This thermometer utilizes a proprietary blue liquid filling that is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, offering a safer alternative to traditional mercury thermometers without compromising performance.
• Optimal Readability: The dark blue indicating fluid stands out brilliantly against the white-backed stem, ensuring quick and effortless readings, even in varying lighting conditions.
• ASTM Compliance: Fully meets the stringent requirements of ASTM E1, E77, and E2251, guaranteeing reliable and consistent results that adhere to international standards. This compliance ensures its suitability and validation for use in referenced applications, including Saybolt viscosity testing.
• Total Immersion Design: Designed for total immersion, it provides accurate temperature measurements when the entire liquid column is exposed to the temperature being measured.
• Durable Construction: With a total length of 11 inches (280mm), this robust thermometer is built for durability and ease of handling in demanding laboratory environments.

Applications: Primarily specified for use in Saybolt viscosity testing, the ASTM S18C Non-Mercury Thermometer's precision and safety features make it an excellent choice for other general laboratory and industrial applications where accurate temperature monitoring between 34 to 42°C is essential.

Care and Storage: To preserve the integrity of the fluid column and ensure long-term accuracy, always store Non-Mercury Thermometers vertically. Utilizing a dedicated storage rack is highly recommended to prevent fluid column separation.

Recommended Accessory: Consider using a Thermometer Well for added protection and thermal stabilization when the thermometer is used in challenging environments, such as ovens or other exposed settings, further safeguarding your investment and enhancing measurement consistency.
