The ASTM Equivalent S6F Non-Mercury Thermometer is a reliable and safe alternative to traditional mercury thermometers. Designed with the same physical and performance characteristics as ASTM thermometers, this thermometer has a temperature range of -112 to 70F, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
One of the key features of this thermometer is its use of a safe blue indicating liquid. This liquid is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous, ensuring the safety of both users and the environment. The dark blue color of the indicating liquid is easily readable against the white-backed stem, allowing for accurate temperature readings.
With its ASTM Number S6F and division of 2.0 degrees, this non-mercury thermometer meets the test methods of ASTM E2251, ASTM E77, and ASTM E1. While it has not been reviewed and accepted by ASTM for its referenced applications, it maintains the same performance standards.
To ensure the longevity and accuracy of the thermometer, it is important to store it vertically using a storage rack. This prevents fluid column separation and maintains the integrity of the thermometer.
For additional protection and thermal stabilization, the thermometer can be used with a thermometer well. This is especially useful when the thermometer is exposed to high temperatures, such as in ovens or other challenging environments.
