ASTM S18F Non-Mercury Thermometer, 94 to 108F

ASTM S18F Non-Mercury Thermometer: Precision and Safety for Saybolt Viscosity

Experience precise and safe temperature measurement with the ASTM S18F Non-Mercury Thermometer. Specifically engineered for critical applications like Saybolt viscosity testing, this high-quality thermometer offers a reliable, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mercury thermometers, ensuring both accuracy and safety in your laboratory.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimal Temperature Range: With a measuring range of 94 to 108°F (34.4 to 42.2°C) and fine 0.2°F (0.1°C) graduations, the S18F provides the meticulous precision required for sensitive laboratory procedures, particularly for petroleum product analysis.
• Total Immersion Accuracy: Designed for total immersion, this thermometer ensures that the entire liquid column is exposed to the temperature being measured. This method is crucial for achieving maximum accuracy and consistency in your readings, conforming to standard test methods where precise temperature control is paramount.
• Non-Mercury, Eco-Conscious Design: Our ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers utilize a proprietary blue organic liquid, making them a biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous choice. This eliminates the risks associated with mercury breakage and simplifies disposal, contributing to a safer and greener laboratory environment.
• Enhanced Readability: The vibrant dark blue indicating fluid stands out clearly against the white-backed stem, allowing for quick, easy, and unambiguous readings, even under varying lighting conditions.
• ASTM Compliance: This thermometer is manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 standards. This certification guarantees its performance characteristics are comparable to ASTM mercury thermometers, providing confidence in your test results.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality glass, it is built to withstand the demands of routine laboratory use, offering long-lasting reliability.
• Convenient Size: At a total length of 11 inches (280mm), it is designed for ease of handling and proper fit within standard Saybolt viscosity apparatus.

Ideal for:

• Saybolt Viscosity Testing
• Quality Control in Petroleum Industry
• Research & Development Laboratories
• Any application requiring precise temperature measurement within its specified range where mercury-free solutions are preferred or mandated.

Important Usage & Storage Guidelines:

To ensure the longevity and sustained accuracy of your non-mercury thermometer, always store it vertically using a dedicated storage rack. This practice prevents fluid column separation, which can impact measurement integrity. For additional protection and thermal stability, especially when used in ovens or other exposed environments, consider utilizing a Thermometer Well.

Choose the ASTM S18F Non-Mercury Thermometer for a blend of high-performance accuracy, environmental responsibility, and user safety in your critical temperature measurement tasks.
