Description
Thermometer similar to ASTM 5F is a rod-form laboratory thermometer for general-purpose temperature measurement from −36 °F to +120 °F with a 2 °F scale division. It combines a white-backed scale for high contrast reading with a red special filling as the thermometric liquid. Overall length is 235 mm at a diameter of 8 mm (body approximately 225–235 × 6–8 mm), with a defined immersion depth of 108 mm. The top is rounded and closed, and the scale uses durable colouring intended for repeated laboratory handling. This enclosed solid-stem design fits ASTM-style workflows as well as routine bench, process and pocket-thermometer use where Fahrenheit indication is required. Manufactured by Amarell, the instrument is calibratable and suited to quality control, educational laboratories and everyday temperature checks. Clear scale layout, partial-immersion geometry and robust rod construction support reliable readings across the stated working range without unnecessary complexity in daily laboratory practice.

Questions about Thermometer similar to ASTM 5F, solid stem, -36+120:2°F, white backed, red
What is this article?
Thermometer similar to ASTM 5F, solid stem, -36+120:2°F, white backed, red is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Amarell for laboratory use. It sits in Laboratory glass thermometers, inside Temperature measurement, in Lab instruments.
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column, often with a stated immersion depth, total or partial. The range and the division decide the reading. A partial-immersion thermometer read at the wrong depth is wrong by design.
A thermometer reports a temperature. A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column. A digital thermometer is a sensor and a display, and the sensor, not the display, is what is calibrated. An infrared thermometer reads a surface and depends on emissivity. A data logger stores the reading over time. Without a stated uncertainty and a calibration point, the number is only an indication. The scale is maintained by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET. Accreditation is BELAC.
