Refractometer fluid tester
Description
The refractometer is an optical device that allows you to measure the freezing point of fluids such as: glycol-based cooling system fluids,
washer fluids, and additionally to determine the ADBLUE fluid concentration and electrolyte density in batteries.
Kit composition:
• refractometer
• pipette
• calibration screwdriver
• Cleaning cloth
• Storage box
Calibration
• Calibration should be made in an ambient environment of 68° F/20°C
Open Cover Plate and place few drops of distilled water on the main prism.
Close the Cover Plate. Ensure the water is spread across the entire surface of the Prism without air bubbles or dry spots
•
on it.
Wait for 30 seconds to allow the Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) before going to next step
Read the Scale
Hold the refractometer in the direction of light source and look into the Eyepiece. You will see a circular field with a
•
scale. Take thereading from the scale on the line where the blue at upper site and white area at lower site meets (As the
picture shown here)
Adjust Calibration Screw
• Turn the Calibration Screw until the line meet exactly on the 0 scale ( As the picture shown).
This is the end of calibration procedure.
Before first use
With equipment of ATC system, the ambient working temperature should be at 68F/20° C.
Once done calibration, the shifts in ambient temperature within the acceptable range 10° C to 30° C should not affect the
•
accuracy.
Please wipe dry the Cover Plate and Prism with a soft lint-free cloth after each and every test and before storing. It is
•
important to maintain the cover plate and prism dust and stain free in order to have good repeatability measurement.
Start the test
Place few drops of the sample onto the main prism. Close the cover plate and check the reading. Take the reading where
•
the boundary line of blue and white cross the scale. The scale will provide the direct reading of the sample concentration.
Maintenance
Clean the instrument between each measurement and before storage with a soft cloth. Any residue of samples stained
•
on the prism could damage the coating on the prism.
• Do not measure with abrasive or corrosive chemicals. They can damage the prism's coating.
Do not immerse the instrument in water. If the view inside the Eyepiece becomes foggy,the water has entered into the
•
body of the instrument.
• Do not store the instrument in a damp environment. Store only in a cool and dry area.
Do not clean the prism with thinner as this will remove the coating on the prism and cause the unit damage.
•
• This is an optical instrument and requires careful handling and storage with care.
Warnings
• Use as intended
• Store only in a cool and dry area.
• Use and storage out of reach of children
