ASTM S56C Non-Mercury Thermometer, 19 to 35C, NIST Calibration
ASTM S56C Non-Mercury Thermometer has a total measurement range from 19 to 35C, with graduations of 0.02 degrees. These total immersion thermometers are specified for use in bomb calorimeter testing, and can be used for other applications within their range. Total length is 23.6in (600mm).
ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers meet standard test method requirements for use in their referenced applications. The liquid-in-glass thermometers have 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
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.

The ASTM S56C Non-Mercury Thermometer offers precise temperature measurements within a range of 19 to 35 degrees Celsius. With graduations of 0.02 degrees, this total immersion thermometer is specifically designed for use in bomb calorimeter testing. However, it can also be used in other applications within its temperature range.
One of the key features of this thermometer is its use of a safe blue liquid as an alternative to mercury. This proprietary formula is biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonhazardous, ensuring the safety of both the user and the environment. The dark blue color of the fluid against the white-backed stem makes it highly visible and easy to read.
The ASTM S56C Non-Mercury Thermometer conforms to ASTM E1, E77, and E2251 requirements, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. It also comes with a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration. This certificate guarantees that the calibration has been performed in a qualified, controlled laboratory accredited by ISO/IEC. Calibration is done using a Precision Reference Thermometer (PRT) and Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) in a high-stability liquid bath. The thermometer is also carefully inspected for any cracks or liquid-column separations before testing.
Measuring 23.6 inches (600mm) in length, this thermometer is made of high-quality materials to ensure durability and longevity. To maintain the integrity of the fluid column and prevent separation, it is recommended to store the thermometer vertically using a storage rack.
For additional protection and thermal stabilization, a Thermometer Well is available for use with this thermometer. It is particularly useful when the thermometer is exposed to ovens or other harsh environments.
If you are looking for other thermometer options, the ASTM Mercury Filled Thermometers and ASTM Non-Mercury Thermometers are also available. Each thermometer is designed to meet specific testing requirements and standards.
In summary, the ASTM S56C Non-Mercury Thermometer offers reliable and accurate temperature measurement for a range of applications. Its use of a safe blue liquid ensures user safety and environmental sustainability. With its NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration and adherence to ASTM standards, you can trust this thermometer to provide accurate results every time.
