Breakage protected thermometers

Rugged encapsulation protects these instruments from splintered glass or display-fluid leakage (such as exiting mercury or alcohol).
An impact-resistant tip allows them to be used under laboratory conditions as precision stir devices, for research and educational purposes or in rugged industrial environments.
The protective coating is remarkable for its high transparency allowing easily legibility, for its temperature resistance (up to 250 °C) and hence sterilizability, and for a high degree of acid and alkali resistance (e.g. hydrofluoric acid).

Benefits of breakage protection

  No infiltration through mercury leakage or splintered glass,
even with cracked capillary
  High transparency for easy legibility
  No contamination of measured media
  For diameters of up to 9.75 mm
  For temperatures of up to 250 °C
  Resistant to most chemicals
  Available for most types of thermometers, e.g. precision
laboratory, general-purpose, or contact
