2.1 Safety instructions for the application of calibration liquids
Before using calibration liquids, read the entire safety data sheet thoroughly. Pay
particular attention to the information on the physical and chemical properties.
Only use calibration liquids that are suitable for the required temperature range and which
are not flammable.
Always wear safety goggles for the eyes when handling calibration liquids.
We recommend the following calibration liquids for the various temperature ranges:
Calibration liquid
Calibration Range
Flashpoint
Distilled water
2…95 °C (36…203 °F)
none
Silicone oil from XIAMETER
®
:
PMX-200 SILICONE FLUID 10 CS
-35 °C (-31 °F) 155 °C (311 °F)
165 °C (329 °F)
Water:
Only use distilled water, otherwise excessive limescale and soiling will build up in the
calibrator tank.
Silicone oil:
Use only the silicone oil recommended here.
Always read the safety data sheet supplied with the silicone oil before using it.
Always ensure adequate ventilation when working with silicone oil, since hazardous
substances can be released.
Prevent silicone oil from coming into contact with your eyes.
Since silicone oil is hygroscopic, always use the transport cover to close the calibration
bath after use.
Mineral oil:
OMEGA ENGINEERING supplies the calibrators only with silicone oil.
Using mineral oil is possible, but must be done on your own responsibility. The danger
and the risk must be borne by the customer and our warranty will be rendered null and
void.
Please follow the safety data sheet of the mineral oil used.
The safety instructions for silicone oil apply analogously for mineral oils as well. The same
also applies to the corresponding sections for silicone oil in this operating manual.
