ASTM S59C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -18 to 82C: Precision & Safety Combined
Experience precise temperature measurement without the hazards of mercury with the ASTM S59C Non-Mercury Thermometer. Engineered for accuracy and safety, this total immersion thermometer offers a versatile measurement range from -18 to 82°C (0 to 180°F), with fine 0.5°C (1°F) graduations for highly detailed readings.
Specifically designed and certified for critical applications like tank testing and Saybolt Viscosity Testing, the S59C ensures reliable performance across a variety of laboratory and industrial settings. Its liquid-in-glass design guarantees performance characteristics equivalent to traditional ASTM Mercury Thermometers, but with a crucial upgrade: a proprietary, non-hazardous blue liquid. This indicating fluid is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, providing a safer alternative for both users and the environment.
The dark blue fluid is highly visible against the white-backed stem, making readings quick and unambiguous, even under challenging conditions. With a total length of 12 inches (305mm), it's built for durability and ease of use.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Mercury-Free Safety: Utilizes a non-hazardous, biodegradable, and non-toxic blue fluid.
- Precision Measurement: -18 to 82°C (0 to 180°F) range with 0.5°C (1°F) divisions.
- ASTM Compliance: Meets stringent ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
- High Visibility: Dark blue fluid stands out against a white-backed stem for clear readings.
- Total Immersion: Designed for full immersion in the substance being measured for optimal accuracy.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for tank testing and specified for Saybolt Viscosity Testing, plus other general laboratory uses within its range.
