ASTM S15C Non-Mercury Thermometer, -2 to 80C
The ASTM S15C Non-Mercury Thermometer has a total measurement range from -2 to 80C. The liquid-in-glass thermometer has the same performance characteristics as ASTM Mercury Thermometers, but use safe blue liquid as an alternative to mercury. The proprietary formula is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous. Dark blue color is easily read against the white-backed stem.
Features:
- Meets ASTM E1, E77, E2251 requirements
- Non-hazardous, biodegradable indicating fluid
- Dark blue fluid is highly visible against white-backed stem
- Acceptable for use in Saybolt Viscosity Testing
