| Model | Temperature range (°C) | Viscosity (cP) | Density (g/cm³) | Specific heat (cal/g·°C) | Thermal conductivity (W/m·K) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LM-16A | +20 to +280 | 85.39 | 0.88–0.92 | 0.478 | 0.143 |
| LM-16B | +10 to +320 | 36.28 | 0.99–1.03 | 0.411 | 0.123 |
| LM-16C | −30 to +340 | 5.75 | 0.98–1.01 | 0.389 | 0.131 |
All properties are printed at 20°C. The catalogue states flash points above +120°C for this series and gives no per-model freezing point.

FROM FORMULATION TO APPLICATION
LM-16 references describe synthetic-hydrocarbon heat-transfer media for pharmaceutical, chemical, solar-thermal, oil and gas applications.
A, B and C grades have different catalogue operating windows. Review startup conditions, process temperature and equipment limitations rather than applying a family maximum to every grade.
The source references call for cleaning and drying before filling and recommend a closed system. Discuss moisture exclusion, ventilation and safe handling with the technical team.
