What is BS 5248 - Aspirated hygrometer about?
BS 5248 is an International Standard that discusses the aspects of standard aspirated hygrometers.
BS 5248 specifies requirements for mercury-in-glass thermometers suitable for use in an electrically or mechanically aspirated wet and dry bulb hygrometer together with the essential construction and performance requirements for the frame.
The thermometers specified in BS 5248 are of the mercury-in-glass gas-filled, solid-stem, or enclosed-scale types graduated for complete immersion (graduated to give a correct reading when the whole of the thermometer is immersed in the medium the temperature of which is to be measured) and fitted with caps and collars.
Who is BS 5248- Aspirated hygrometer for?
BS 5248 on aspirated hygrometer is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of hygrometers
- Designers of hygrometers
- Suppliers and exporters of hygrometers
- Regulatory authorities
- Testing authorities
Why should you use BS 5248- Aspirated hygrometer?
An aspirated hygrometer serves for measuring the air temperature and the humidity.
BS 5248 covers technicalities for an aspirated hygrometer that follows global standards. BS 5248 is segregated into 3 parts to provide the users with an easily understandable approach. One section describes the specifications for the thermometers such as range, temperature scale, material to be used, construction, etc. The other section describes the frame of the hygrometers, which consists of details about radiation shields, aspirating motor, thermometers locating holes, etc.
BS 5248 aids users with the guidance for the method of use of the aspirated hygrometer. BS 5248 gives the thermometric glasses approved by the National Physical Laboratory.
BS 5248 assists with the testing of thermometers that helps the users to ensure the highly efficient and reliable performance of aspirated hygrometers that work under various given conditions.
Overall, BS 5248 is useful to users for guiding them to manufacture high-quality aspirated hygrometers, which is beneficial for your business and can also help you to expand your business globally.
