A refractometer is an optical measuring device used to measure the refractive index of various liquids. There are different types of refractometers, some of which are stationery and others handheld. However, they all work on the same principle of the refractive index of light.
With a refractometer you can measure the sugar content of fruit and malt, the water content of honey, the ability of antifreeze to keep liquids frost-free, the density of urine or the acid content of a battery. Likewise, a refractometer can measure saline solutions in seawater and the alcohol content of clear spirits or the alcohol solution in ex. IPA alcohol in geothermal heating systems.
This refractometer has a combined scale with °Cand percentage and with the indication of the percentage the freezing point can be determined of either ethylene (EG) or propylene (PG) glycol-based cooling systems. It can also be used to test the concentration of etylene glycol or propylene glycol in antifreeze liquids. It also has an additional scale for the measuring the density of battery fluid (BF).
Temperature Compensation (ATC) that automatically correct temperature discrepancies during use. Body of full copper, which makes this refractometer resistant to chemical corrosion, and the service life is increased many times compared to ordinary aluminum houses. Screwdriver, dermalized water, pipette and cleaning cloth included.
Delivered in a plastic box.
The refractometer in question has the following specifications:
• Measuring range: 0-66% (EG) / 0-62% (PG) / 1,10-1,40 (BF)
• Resolution: 5°C / 5°C / 0,01 sg
• Accuracy: ±5°C / ±5°C / ±0,01 sg
• Build-in automatic temperature compenstion (ATC)
• Hidden calibration screw prevent incorrect adjustment by mistake.
• Dobbelt joint on the light plate ensures tight fitting on the prism.
• High light sensitivity ensures the usage in normal daylight.
Main areas of application:
