Choosing Calibration Bath Fluid

From Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientific Division
 

 

The ideal bath fluid would have a low viscosity, high heat capacity, very low vapor pressure, and a high flash point. It would also need to cover a very wide temperature range. Unfortunately,
no single fluid has all of these attributes, so care must be taken when choosing a bath fluid.

From both an operational and safety standpoint, some considerations are: safety precautions, flash points, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, fluid expansion, specific gravity, vapor pressure, gel time, usable life and
storage.
