DIN EN 12470-1:2009-11 EN 12470-1:2000+A1:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This Part of EN 12470 specifies performance requirements and test methods for clinical liquid-in-glass thermometers w

26、ith maximum device and applies only to thermometers filled with metallic liquid. NOTE 1 Note that in some European countries the use of mercury is prohibited in clinical thermometers. NOTE 2 Substances other than metallic liquids can be used in the manufacturing of liquid-in-glass thermometers. No r

27、eference is made to these in this European standard because there is no experience of clinical thermometers which use other substances. This European Standard does not apply to clinical thermometers designed for special applications (e.g. thermometers for premature babies, ovulation thermometers) wh

33、o which the scale is fixed longitudinally behind the capillary tube 3.5 stabilized thermometer reading DIN EN 12470-1:2009-11 EN 12470-1:2000+A1:2009 (E) 5 result given by a thermometer which, after attaining thermal equilibrium with a water bath of a temperature within the thermometers measuring ra

34、nge, has been removed from the water bath and cooled to a temperature of between 15 C and 30 C 3.6 zero point correction correction of the reading of the thermometer at 0 C NOTE K = 0 C -t13.7 zero point depression change of zero point correction after heating and fast cooling of the thermometer 4 U

The scale marks and numbers shall be at right angles to the axis o

37、f the thermometer and shall be visible at the same time as the liquid column. Testing shall be performed by visual inspection. 6.1.2.2 Scale spacing The distance between adjacent scale marks shall be at least 0,5 mm for solid-stem thermometers and at least 0,6 mm for enclosed-scale thermometers. Tes

38、ting shall be performed using an appropriate device, which magnifies the scale by at least x 4.
