Technical Specifications

Advantages

  • The "Source of Truth": Eliminates the guesswork of visual checks. Provides an immediate, undeniable optical reading of the fluid's strength, preventing the "blind dosing" that leads to wasted concentrate.
  • Universal Compatibility: Engineered to read the refractive index of all major coolant types, including full synthetics, semi-synthetics, and high-oil emulsions.
  • Optimized Scale (0–18%): Unlike standard 0–32% food-grade units (which are hard to read at low levels), this unit focuses on the 0–18% range, providing superior resolution and readability in the critical 5–10% operating zone.
  • Battery-Free Reliability: Uses ambient light and high-quality prism optics, making it intrinsically safe and always ready for use without electronic failure points.

Technical Overview

  • Compatibility: Synthetic, Semi-Synthetic, Soluble Oils
  • Focus: Adjustable Eyepiece
  • Construction: Heavy-Duty Aluminum Body with Rubber Grip
  • Included: Pipette, Calibration Screwdriver, Carrying Case

Why You Need This
Coolant concentration changes daily due to evaporation (which thickens the mix) and drag-out (which thins it). The only way to maintain a stable 7% mix is to measure it daily.

The "Refractometer Factor"
This device reads in "Brix." To get the absolute concentration, simply multiply the reading by your coolant's refractive factor (e.g., Reading 5.0 x Factor 1.4 = 7.0% Concentration). It is the standard method for all ISO-certified machining facilities.

Applications

  • Daily Sump Concentration Checks
  • Fluid Maintenance Audits
  • Rust Issue Diagnostics
  • Coolant Charge Verification
  • Tool Life Optimization
