ASTM S22C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 95 to 103C

ASTM S22C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 95 to 103°C

The ASTM S22C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a precision instrument designed for accurate temperature measurement in specialized applications, particularly Saybolt viscosity testing. With a measurement range of 95 to 103°C and graduations of 0.1°C, this thermometer ensures reliable and precise readings. Its total immersion design allows for accurate measurement when the thermometer is fully immersed in the medium being tested. The compact length of 11 inches (280mm) makes it convenient to handle and use in laboratory settings.

Why Choose the ASTM S22C Non-Mercury Thermometer?

This thermometer is crafted to meet ASTM standards while offering a safer alternative to traditional mercury thermometers. Using a proprietary, non-hazardous blue liquid, it preserves the same high-level performance as mercury thermometers while eliminating the risks associated with mercury exposure. The liquid is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous, making it environmentally friendly and safe for use in various laboratory and industrial applications.

The dark blue fluid contrasts sharply against the white-backed stem, ensuring easy readability, even in challenging light conditions. Its durable glass construction and adherence to ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements make it a reliable tool for precise temperature measurements across a range of applications.

Key Features:

• Meets ASTM Standards: Complies with ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements for precise and reliable performance.
• Safe and Eco-Friendly: Uses biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous blue liquid as an environmentally safe alternative to mercury.
• Highly Visible Fluid: Dark blue indicating fluid is easy to read against the white-backed stem, enhancing usability.
• Accurate Measurements: Graduations of 0.1°C provide high precision for critical testing.
• Specialized Application: Specifically designed for Saybolt viscosity testing but versatile enough for other applications within its range.
• Total Immersion Design: Ensures accurate readings by requiring the thermometer to be fully immersed in the measured medium.

Specifications:

• ASTM Number: S22C
• Temperature Range: 95 to 103°C
• Immersion Type: Total immersion
• Application: Saybolt viscosity testing
• Division (Graduations): 0.1°C
• Length: 11 inches (280mm)
• Type: Non-Mercury

Proper Storage and Handling:

To maintain the thermometer’s accuracy and prevent fluid column separation, always store the thermometer vertically in a storage rack. Proper vertical storage ensures the stability of the liquid column, particularly during extended periods of non-use.

Additional Accessories:

• Thermometer Well: For enhanced protection and thermal stabilization, consider using a thermometer well. This accessory guards the thermometer in exposed environments, such as ovens, and ensures consistent temperature readings by minimizing external fluctuations.

Applications:

The ASTM S22C Non-Mercury Thermometer is primarily used for Saybolt viscosity testing but is also suitable for other laboratory and industrial applications requiring precise temperature measurement within its range.

Why Non-Mercury Matters:

With increasing regulations around mercury use due to its hazardous nature, non-mercury thermometers provide a safer, environmentally friendly alternative without compromising accuracy or reliability. The ASTM S22C offers peace of mind, combining cutting-edge safety with the precision required in professional laboratory environments.
