ASTM S5C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -38 to 50C

ASTM S5C Precision Non-Mercury Thermometer: Safe & Accurate for Critical Applications (-38 to 50°C)

Experience precise temperature measurement without the risks associated with mercury. The ASTM S5C Non-Mercury Thermometer offers an environmentally responsible and safe alternative, delivering the same high-performance characteristics as traditional ASTM mercury thermometers. Engineered for reliability, this liquid-in-glass thermometer is ideal for a range of critical laboratory and industrial applications where safety and accuracy are paramount.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Mercury-Free Safety: Utilizes a proprietary, non-toxic, non-hazardous, and biodegradable blue liquid. This eliminates concerns over mercury spills and environmental contamination, making it a preferred choice for modern laboratories and compliant with evolving safety regulations.
• ASTM Standard Compliance: Fully conforms to rigorous ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements. These standards ensure consistent and accurate readings, providing reliable data essential for quality control and research.
• High Visibility & Readability: The distinct dark blue indicating fluid stands out sharply against the white-backed stem, ensuring quick and effortless temperature readings, even in varying lighting conditions.
• Precision Measurement: Offers a broad measurement range of -38 to 50°C with a finely calibrated 1°C division, providing the granular data needed for sensitive processes.
• Specialized Application: Specifically designed and certified for Cloud & Pour Point testing, essential for evaluating the low-temperature flow characteristics of petroleum products, fuels, and lubricants.
• Optimal Immersion: Features a 4.3in (108mm) partial immersion depth, optimized for specific testing procedures where full immersion is not required or practical.

Technical Specifications:

• ASTM Number: S5C
• Temperature Range: -38°C to 50°C
• Scale Division: 1°C
• Thermometer Type: Liquid-in-Glass, Non-Mercury
• Immersion Depth: 4.3 inches (108mm)
