ASTM S65F Non-Mercury Thermometer, 122 to 176F

ASTM S65F Non-Mercury Thermometer: Precision, Safety, and Performance

Accurate Temperature Measurement Without Mercury The ASTM S65F Non-Mercury Thermometer offers precise temperature readings from 122°F to 176°F, with highly detailed 0.2°F graduations. Engineered for reliability, this thermometer is a direct replacement for traditional mercury thermometers, providing comparable performance while eliminating the environmental and safety risks associated with mercury. It's specifically designed for total immersion applications, making it ideal for use in various laboratory and industrial settings, particularly where precise temperature control and measurement are critical.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Mercury-Free Design: Utilizes a safe, blue proprietary liquid as an indicating fluid. This formula is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-hazardous, ensuring safety for users and the environment.
• High Visibility: The dark blue indicating fluid contrasts sharply against the thermometer's white-backed stem, making readings exceptionally clear and easy to interpret, even in varying lighting conditions.
• Total Immersion: Calibrated for total immersion, guaranteeing accurate measurements when the entire liquid column is exposed to the temperature being measured. This is crucial for applications requiring high precision.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured with durable glass to withstand rigorous laboratory use.
• Extended Length: With a total length of 15.7 inches (400mm), it provides ample reach into deep vessels and allows for clear viewing of the scale.
• ASTM Compliance: Meets the stringent requirements of ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 standards, certifying its suitability for official test methods.
• Saybolt Viscosity Testing Approved: Specifically acceptable for use in critical Saybolt Viscosity Testing, ensuring compliance with industry-specific methodologies.
