ASTM #108F Saybolt Viscosity Thermometer, 230 to 290F, NIST Calibration
The ASTM #108F Viscosity Thermometer, 230 to 290F has a strict manufacturing tolerance. Accuracy is assured by inspection and testing of samples from each production run. The thermometer is supplied with a statement of compliance to E 1 and E 77 requirements. The ASTM Thermometer is yellow-backed glass with permanent graduations, mercury-filled and individually packed in a cardboard tube.
Comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. The NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration is a five-point calibration certificate from an ISO/IEC accredited laboratory. This accreditation is your assurance that the calibration is performed in a qualified, controlled lab. The calibration on the glass thermometer is performed using direct comparison in a high-stability liquid bath with a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) and displays. The thermometer is also inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations before testing. Measurements are performed at 5 temperature points.

The ASTM #108F Saybolt Viscosity Thermometer is a highly accurate and reliable tool for measuring viscosity in the range of 230 to 290 degrees Fahrenheit. Manufactured under strict quality control standards, this thermometer ensures precise and consistent readings every time.
Each thermometer is individually inspected and tested to meet the requirements of ASTM E1 and E77. It is made of yellow-backed glass with permanent graduations, allowing for easy and accurate reading of viscosity values. The thermometer is also filled with mercury, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.
To further enhance accuracy and reliability, the ASTM #108F Viscosity Thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. This certificate guarantees that the calibration is performed in an ISO/IEC accredited laboratory, using high-stability liquid baths and precision reference thermometers. The thermometer is tested at five temperature points to ensure accuracy and reliability at every level.
Measuring 10.8 inches (275 mm) in length, this thermometer is designed for total immersion. With a division of 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit, it provides precise and accurate measurements of viscosity. Additionally, the thermometer is inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations to ensure its integrity.
For safe storage, it is recommended to store non-mercury thermometers vertically using a storage rack to prevent fluid column separation. To provide further protection and thermal stabilization, a thermometer well is available for use with this thermometer in ovens or other exposed environments.
In addition to the ASTM #108F Viscosity Thermometer, we offer a full line of ASTM Mercury Filled Thermometers and ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers. These thermometers cater to various temperature ranges and applications.
