AS 1006-1995

Specifies requirements for low-cost 'commercial quality' thermometers suitable for use where great accuracy of temperature measurement is not required. The temperature range covered is from minus 100 degrees Celsius to plus 500 degrees Celsius. Requirements relate to materials, construction and dimensions, graduation and figuring, scale error and marking. This Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 1770:1981 and its Amendment 1:1983.

This International Standard specifies requirements for two series of inexpensive "commercial quality" liquid-in- glass thermometers of the solid-stem type suitable for general purpose use in industry, schools and laboratories when great accuracy of measurement is not required:a) a series designated A to H, in which nominal ranges and maximum overall lengths are specified but which may not be acceptable for testing by a national verification laboratory;b) a series designated J to W of greater accuracy than in a) and with specified ranges and a tolerance on overall length, which may be acceptable for testing by a national verification laboratory.The temperature range covered by each series is from -100 °C to +500 °C.
