The ASTM Equivalent S17C Non-Mercury Thermometer is a reliable and accurate tool for measuring temperatures in the range of 19 to 27 degrees Celsius. Although it has not been officially reviewed and accepted by ASTM, it shares the same physical and performance characteristics as ASTM thermometers for the referenced applications.
One of the standout features of this thermometer is its use of a safe blue indicating liquid. This biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous liquid ensures that you can use the thermometer without any safety concerns. The dark blue color of the liquid is easily visible against the white-backed stem, making it convenient to read and interpret the temperature measurements.
With its ASTM number S17C, this non-mercury thermometer meets the standards set by ASTM E2251, ASTM E77, and ASTM E1. It has a division of 0.1 degree, allowing for precise and accurate readings. The thermometer has a total immersion design, ensuring that the entire temperature-sensitive portion of the thermometer is submerged in the liquid being measured.
Measuring 11 inches (280mm) in length, this thermometer is suitable for a variety of applications, specifically in Saybolt viscosity measurements. It can be used in various laboratory settings or industrial processes where temperature monitoring is critical.
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of the thermometer, it is recommended to store it vertically using a storage rack specifically designed for this purpose. Additionally, using a thermometer well can provide extra protection and thermal stabilization when using the thermometer in ovens or other exposed environments.
