Glass Thermometer, Petroleum Use

Product Code : SCL-PLE-11597

The Petroleum Glass Thermometer is a high-accuracy immersion instrument specifically calibrated for testing the thermal properties of hydrocarbons and petroleum derivatives. Designed for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and university-level petrochemical engineering, it facilitates precise flash point, cloud point, and viscosity measurements. Its specialized scale and robust construction align with international laboratory standards for fuel and lubricant analysis.

Technical Specifications

Educational Benefits & Features

Feature: Borosilicate glass architecture.

Benefit: Provides exceptional resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack, ensuring the instrument does not fail when measuring high-temperature substances like Mineral Oil or Bitumen.

Feature: Precision acid-etched graduation.

Benefit: Solves the problem of scale fading due to frequent contact with petroleum-based solvents and cleaning agents, maintaining long-term data reliability for student researchers.

Feature: Safety expansion chamber at the top of the capillary.

Benefit: Protects the thermometer from catastrophic structural failure if the temperature exceeds the maximum scale limit, a critical safety feature in instructional laboratories.

Feature: Lens-fronted glass tubing.

Benefit: Magnifies the sensing liquid column, significantly reducing parallax error and student eye strain during sensitive thermal equilibrium observations.

Feature: Industry-standard calibration (ASTM/IP aligned).

Benefit: Prepares students for professional environments by providing experience with the exact tolerances and specifications used in global petroleum quality control facilities.

Curriculum Alignment

This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the rigorous infrastructure requirements of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and STEM benchmarks. It specifically facilitates mastery of standards related to "Industrial Chemistry" and "Materials Engineering," where accurate thermal profiling of flammable and viscous liquids is mandatory for safety and quality assurance training.
