Advantages

Rapid Diagnostic Results
Delivers a clear visual color-match reading of water hardness levels in seconds for immediate onsite troubleshooting.

Foam Control Prevention
Identifies soft-water conditions that can lead to mechanical foaming, allowing proactive use of hardness-increasing additives.

Residue & Deposit Mitigation
Detects high-hardness levels that can trigger sticky residues and insoluble metallic deposits, helping prevent filter clogging and buildup inside machines.

Tool Life Optimization
Helps maintain the chemical balance needed to protect tool edges from the abrasive effects of mineral buildup.

Universal Oemeta Support
Optimized for monitoring all water-miscible Oemeta product families, including UNIMET, NOVAMET, and HYCUT.

Precision Sump Management
Helps identify water-quality drift so emulsion properties can be returned to their optimal operating range.

Easy-to-Read Scale
Features a high-contrast graduated scale that makes hardness readings simple for any shop-floor operator.

Technical Overview

Precision Monitoring for Process Security The Oemeta Coolant Hardness Test Strip
A fundamental tool for maintaining the long-term performance of metalworking fluids. External factors and water quality fluctuations can cause the loss of certain ingredients or the buildup of harmful minerals. By identifying these shifts early, manufacturers can ensure a sound performance and machining result.

Operational Reliability and Efficiency
Selective use of diagnostic additives based on hardness readings extends the service life of the metalworking fluid and protects the machine interior. Maintaining the optimum hardness range ensures consistent lubricity and corrosion protection, providing maximum process security for high-value manufacturing environments.

Product
Description

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid measurement of water hardness in metalworking fluid sumps. Oemeta Hardness Test Strips provide the critical data needed to diagnose and prevent foaming, sticky residue, and premature tool wear by identifying calcium and magnesium levels that compromise emulsion stability.

The efficient, fluid-saving solution for tramp oil management. The Coolant Skimmer 2 builds on the robust design of the Skimmer 1 by adding an integrated Gravity Separator Tank. While standard skimmers can accidentally remove valuable coolant along with the waste oil, this unit captures the skimmed mixture, allows it to separate, and automatically returns the "good" coolant back to the sump. This ensures that you are only disposing of pure waste oil, significantly reducing your coolant disposal costs.

The essential verification tool for precision fluid management. This Industrial Optical Refractometer features a specialized 0–18% Brix scale, specifically calibrated for the reading of metalworking fluids. Compatible with all synthetic, semi-synthetic, and soluble oil coolants, it allows operators to instantly verify sump concentration with a single drop, ensuring that machining processes remain within the safe engineering limits for tool life and rust protection.

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid measurement of pH levels in metalworking fluid sumps. Oemeta pH Test Strips provide the critical data needed to diagnose and prevent smelly sumps and machine corrosion by identifying acidity shifts that compromise the biological and chemical stability of the emulsion.

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid and accurate measurement of Oemeta coolant concentration. Unlike standard refractometers, the Easy Check system provides a precise reading of active ingredients while remaining unaffected by tramp oils or suspended solids, allowing for superior control over fluid property parameters.

The robust, cost-effective solution for mixing metalworking fluids at the drum level. This Venturi-style mixer utilizes a solid machined body to blend water and coolant concentrate via suction force. With a wide adjustment range of 0% to 16%, it is capable of handling everything from light grinding fluids to heavy-duty tapping oils. It features an integrated vacuum break safety system, specifically engineered to eliminate the "siphoning effect" that causes messy and hazardous coolant spills on the shop floor.

Technical guidance & FAQs

Applications and materials

Oemeta hardness test strips support checks of water hardness during coolant preparation and maintenance. Water conditions are useful context when investigating foam, residues or emulsion behavior.

Choosing a configuration

Use the specified sample and reading procedure and compare the result with the coolant’s water requirement. Keep supply-water testing distinct from interpreting a working coolant that also contains concentrate and other components.

Compatibility and use

Hardness is a different measurement from pH or coolant concentration. A result can inform troubleshooting but does not by itself identify every cause of foam, residue or corrosion.

Technical documents

Contact Tech Tool for the current product information and instructions for Coolant Hardness Test Strip Tube.

What does this strip test?

Water hardness, using the strip’s specified method and scale.

Does hardness tell me coolant concentration?

No. Use a concentration test and product-specific interpretation for that measurement.

Can hardness alone explain a foaming sump?

It is one factor. Review the actual coolant, concentration, contamination and circulation conditions as well.
