ASTM S63F Non-Mercury Thermometer, 18 to 89F

ASTM S63F Non-Mercury Thermometer, 18 to 89F

For laboratories and industrial settings demanding both precision and safety, the ASTM S63F Non-Mercury Thermometer is an essential tool. This advanced liquid-in-glass thermometer offers a comprehensive temperature range of 18 to 89°F (approximately -7.8 to 31.7°C), featuring fine 0.2° graduations for highly accurate measurements.

Engineered for total immersion, the S63F ensures that the entire liquid column is exposed to the temperature being measured, providing the most precise and reliable readings possible in applications like precision testing and, specifically, Saybolt Viscosity Testing. Its robust design measures 15.7 inches (400mm) in total length, making it suitable for a variety of experimental setups.

What sets the ASTM S63F apart is its innovative, non-mercury indicating fluid. This proprietary blue liquid is not only biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, but it also delivers the same high-performance characteristics as traditional mercury thermometers. The dark blue fluid stands out vividly against the white-backed stem, ensuring exceptional readability and reducing the potential for error, especially in critical measurement scenarios.

Key Features and Benefits:

• ASTM Compliance: Meets stringent ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements, guaranteeing adherence to industry standards.
• Enhanced Safety: Eliminates the risks associated with mercury, making it safer for personnel and the environment.
• Clear Visibility: Dark blue liquid against a white stem provides easy and accurate readings.
• Precision Performance: Delivers accuracy comparable to mercury thermometers for critical applications.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for various precision testing needs, including specified Saybolt Viscosity tests.

To maintain optimal performance and prevent fluid column separation, always store the Non-Mercury Thermometer vertically, utilizing a suitable storage rack. For applications in ovens or other exposed environments, a Thermometer Well is recommended to provide crucial protection and thermal stabilization, further extending the life and accuracy of your S63F thermometer.
