360-0774: 0-53% Range Brix Refractometer

The Brix Refractometer is a device used to evaluate the concentration levels of various fluids by measuring how light is bent as it passes through a liquid sample. This instrument can measure concentrations in fluids such as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), coolant solutions (both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol-based), Extended Life Inhibitors (ELI), and battery fluids. By providing accurate readings of fluid properties, the Brix Refractometer helps prevent equipment damage and ensures that systems operate efficiently. It ensures the proper amount of urea in DEF for reducing emissions in diesel engines, measures the concentration of ELI to maintain the effectiveness of coolant systems, determines the freeze protection level of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol-based coolants to prevent freezing in cold conditions, and measures the state of charge of a battery based on the specific gravity of the battery fluid. Attributes: • Provided with an ergonomic design with an easy-to-read liquid crystal display for one-hand operation. • Use conversion charts to convert the percent of Brix to other units of measurement. • Automatic Temperature Compensation feature allows testing fluids from 10 to 75°C. • Ambient temperature range of 10 to 40°C. • Requires only a 0.3 ml (.01 oz) sample volume. • Includes storage case. • Fits in a shirt pocket, convenient to carry and use indoors and outdoors. • Operates with two AAA batteries. Applications: The Brix Refractometer is used in maintenance areas where fluid levels and concentrations are monitored and fluids are maintained at optimal levels to enhance the performance and longevity of the equipment.
