ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 155 to 170C, NIST Calibration
These liquid-in-glass thermometers have physical and performance characteristics identical to ASTM thermometers for their referenced applications, but have not yet been reviewed and accepted by ASTM for these purposes. They use a safe blue indicating liquid that is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous. Dark blue color is easily read against the white-backed stem.
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.

Thermometers Calibrated: Calibrate for Accurate Readings
The ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a reliable and accurate temperature measuring tool for a variety of applications. This liquid-in-glass thermometer offers the same physical and performance characteristics as ASTM thermometers, ensuring accurate readings every time.
One of the key features of this thermometer is its use of a safe blue indicating liquid. This biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous liquid makes it an environmentally friendly choice. The dark blue color of the liquid is easily visible against the white-backed stem, allowing for easy reading.
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, the ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. This certificate guarantees that the calibration has been performed in a qualified and controlled laboratory. The calibration process involves direct comparison in a high-stability liquid bath using a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) and displays. Before testing, each thermometer is thoroughly inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations.
With a temperature range of 155 to 170 degrees Celsius and a division of 0.5 degrees, this thermometer is suitable for various applications, particularly in loss on heat measurements. The thermometer measures approximately 6.9 inches in length, providing a compact and convenient size.
To enhance the longevity and performance of the ASTM S13C Non-Mercury Thermometer, it is recommended to store it vertically using a storage rack. This prevents fluid column separation and ensures accurate readings over time. For additional protection and thermal stabilization in ovens or other exposed environments, the thermometer can be used with the Thermometer Well.
