AS 2831 – Thermometers – Solid stem – Long and short – For precision use

Specifies requirements for long and short solid stem thermometers intended for general use over the ranges from -55 degrees Celsius to 420 degrees Celsius for long thermometers and from -55 degrees Celsius to 410 degrees Celsius for short thermometers. Details the coding which designates the graduation interval and the practical temperature range over which the thermometer is useful. Includes procedures for detecting strain in the glass, determining the change in zero and assessing the resistance of pigment fillers to chemical agents.
