ASTM S6C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -80 to 20C, NIST

ASTM S6C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -80 to 20C, NIST

Ensure precise temperature measurements for your laboratory applications with the ASTM S6C Non-Mercury Thermometer. This essential tool is engineered for accuracy and safety, making it an ideal replacement for traditional mercury thermometers.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Eco-Friendly and Safe: This thermometer uses a specially formulated, biodegradable blue indicating liquid. This fluid is nontoxic and nonhazardous, ensuring a safer laboratory environment and simple, eco-friendly disposal. The dark blue liquid offers high contrast against the white-backed stem for clear, easy readings.
• Identical Performance: While not yet formally accepted by ASTM, these thermometers are designed to have the same physical and performance characteristics as their ASTM mercury counterparts for referenced applications like Cloud & Pour Point testing.
• NIST Traceable Calibration: Each thermometer includes a comprehensive, five-point NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration performed by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. This guarantees that your measurements are accurate and reliable, with calibration performed via direct comparison against high-precision Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs) in a controlled, high-stability liquid bath.
• Rigorous Quality Control: Before calibration, every thermometer is meticulously inspected for any physical defects, such as cracks or separations in the liquid column, to ensure it meets strict quality standards and provides flawless performance upon arrival.

Specifications:

• ASTM Number: S6C
• Temperature Range: -80°C to 20°C
• Division: 1.0°C
• Immersion Depth: 3in (76mm)
• Primary Application: Cloud & Pour Point testing
• Type: Liquid-in-Glass, Non-Mercury
• Length: 9in (232mm)

Proper Care and Use:

To maintain the integrity and accuracy of the thermometer, it is crucial to prevent the separation of the liquid column. Always store Non-Mercury Thermometers vertically in a dedicated storage rack when not in use.

For added protection and thermal stabilization, especially when using the thermometer in ovens, incubators, or other exposed environments, consider using a Thermometer Well. This accessory shields the glass from accidental impact and helps maintain a more stable temperature reading.
