ASTM S62C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -38 to 2C, NIST

ASTM S62C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -38 to 2°C, NIST-Traceable Calibration

The ASTM S62C Non-Mercury Thermometer is designed for precision temperature measurement with a range of -38 to 2°C and fine graduations of 0.1°C. This total immersion thermometer is specifically recommended for use in ASTM standard test methods, ensuring accuracy and reliability in demanding applications such as Saybolt Viscosity Testing and other laboratory or industrial uses. Its design is a safer alternative to traditional mercury thermometers, featuring a proprietary, environmentally friendly liquid that delivers the same performance without the hazards of mercury.

Key Features:

• Meets ASTM Standards: Conforms to ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements, ensuring compliance for precision testing applications.
• Non-Hazardous Indicating Fluid: Filled with a safe, biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous dark blue liquid for accurate readings.
• Enhanced Visibility: The dark blue liquid is easy to read against the white-backed glass stem, improving usability.
• Total Immersion Design: Optimized for total immersion to deliver precise temperature readings within the stated range.
• Durable Construction: Each thermometer undergoes rigorous inspection for cracks, liquid-column separations, and overall integrity before testing.

Calibration Details: This thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. The five-point calibration process is performed in an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. Calibration is conducted in a high-stability liquid bath using a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and a Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT). Measurements are performed at five specific temperature points to meet the highest standards of precision. Each unit is carefully inspected for any defects before it is shipped.
