Pocket Digital Refractometer - Automotive

The Pocket Digital Refractometer is the ultimate tool for automotive professionals and enthusiasts, providing accurate, reliable measurements in a compact and easy-to-use design. It is ideal for measuring concentrations in propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, battery acid, and windshield washer fluid with laboratory-level precision, even when working in the field.

Key Features:

• Compact and lightweight: As portable and simple to use as traditional optical refractometers, but with the added precision and convenience of a digital readout.
• High precision: Measures samples as small as 1 ml, displaying initial sample temperature on the large LCD before providing accurate measurement results.
• Advanced functionality: Equipped with a sophisticated microprocessor that offers automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation (ensuring accuracy across various environments), and an automatic shutoff feature after 3 minutes of inactivity to save battery life.
• Durable and water-resistant: Designed with a rugged water-resistant case to protect internal electronics, making it suitable for wet or harsh environments and allowing for easy clean-ups after use.
• Easy calibration: Features one-button calibration using distilled water for simple setup and maintenance.
• Battery life indicator: Notifies you when the battery needs replacing, with a lifespan of up to 8,000 readings on a single AAA battery.

Comprehensive Kit: Each refractometer comes ready to use with:

• Distilled water
• Transfer pipet
• AAA battery
• User instructions
• Carrying case for convenient transport and storage

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 4⅝" × 2⅜" × 1¼" (118 × 62 × 32 mm)
• Weight: 4.6 oz (130 g)

Measurement Ranges, Resolution & Accuracy:

• Propylene Glycol: Range: 32°F to -50°F / Resolution: 0.1°F / Accuracy: ±2.0°F
• Ethylene Glycol: Range: 32°F to -50°F / Resolution: 0.1°F / Accuracy: ±2.0°F
• Battery Acid: Range: 1.000 to 1.500 sg / Resolution: 0.001 sg / Accuracy: ±0.005 sg
• Windshield Washer Fluid: Range: 14°F to -40°F / Resolution: 0.1°F / Accuracy: ±2.0°F

Application Notes:

• Propylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycol: Essential for monitoring antifreeze/coolant levels in vehicles, ensuring optimal engine protection against freezing and overheating.
• Battery Acid: Helps measure the specific gravity of electrolyte solutions, critical for assessing battery health and performance.
• Windshield Washer Fluid: Accurately determines the freezing point of washer fluid, particularly useful in cold climates. Note: This refers to the fluid used in a vehicle’s automated spray system, not conventional glass cleaners applied manually.

The Pocket Digital Refractometer is a must-have tool for mechanics, automotive technicians, and DIY enthusiasts looking to maintain their vehicles effectively and efficiently. With its robust design, ease of use, and precise readings, it’s a trusted companion for both professional and personal use.
