ASTM S16F Non-Mercury Thermometer, 85 to 392F, 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 S16F Non-Mercury Thermometer is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring temperatures in a range of 85 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. This thermometer is designed with physical and performance characteristics that are identical to ASTM thermometers for their referenced applications. Although it has not yet been reviewed and accepted by ASTM for these specific purposes, it offers reliable performance and accurate readings.
One of the standout features of this thermometer is its use of a safe blue indicating liquid. This liquid is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous, ensuring the safety of users and the environment. The dark blue color of the indicating liquid is easily visible against the white-backed stem, making it effortless to read the temperature measurements.
To further enhance its reliability, this Non-Mercury Thermometer comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. This certificate is a five-point calibration from an ISO/IEC accredited laboratory, ensuring that the calibration is performed in a qualified and controlled environment. The thermometer is tested using direct comparison in a high-stability liquid bath, alongside a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT). Before testing, the thermometer is also inspected for cracks and liquid-column separations.
For proper storage, it is recommended to store the Non-Mercury Thermometer vertically using a storage rack. This prevents any fluid column separation and ensures the longevity of the product. Additionally, a Thermometer Well is available to provide protection and thermal stabilization for glass laboratory thermometers used in ovens or other exposed environments.
Overall, the ASTM S16F Non-Mercury Thermometer is a high-quality, reliable, and safe solution for measuring temperatures in a range of 85 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. With its NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration and use of a safe blue indicating liquid, this thermometer offers accurate readings and peace of mind to users in various applications.
