Frequently Answers and Questions
What is the range of this refractometer?
The refractometer has a range of 0 to -50°C for propylene glycol freeze point, 0 to -50°C for ethylene glycol freeze point, 1.15 to 1.30 for specific gravity battery acid, and 0 to -40°C for cleaning fluid freeze point.
What is the resolution of this refractometer?
The resolution of this refractometer is 1°C.
How do I calibrate the refractometer?
To calibrate the refractometer, cover the prism with a few drops of distilled water and close the cover plate. Adjust the adjustment screw until the shadow line aligns with the scale's zero line. Calibration should be performed at ambient temperature and repeated every 30 minutes if the temperature changes.
How do I use the refractometer?
To use the refractometer, cover the prism with a few drops of the sample and close the cover plate. Allow the sample to remain on the prism for approximately 30 seconds. While holding the instrument under a light source, look through the eyepiece. The measurement is determined by the intersection of the boundary of the light and dark fields on the scale.
What is the warranty on this refractometer?
This refractometer is warranted to be free of defects in parts and workmanship for one year from the date of shipment. A six month limited warranty applies to sensors and cables.
