With a sturdy construction and ease of use, these refractometers are perfect for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts.
Market Price
In the competitive landscape of refractometers, the ATC Car Refractometers YR05916 // YR05930 are attractively priced. While most refractometers in this category range from $60 to $240, these models deliver high precision and durability, making them a cost-effective choice. This allows professionals and amateurs alike to benefit from advanced features without breaking the bank.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these refractometers used for? These refractometers are used to measure the concentration of cooling system fluids and determine their freezing points.
Do they require a power source? No, they use ambient light, so batteries or external power sources are not required.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: Automatic temperature compensation, no need for power, durable aluminum construction, and easy to calibrate.
Disadvantages: Limited to specific fluid types, manual operation requires some skill in focusing and calibration.
Product Usage in the Field
These refractometers are widely used in automotive settings to measure the concentration of coolants and antifreeze directly from vehicles. Simply place a sample of the fluid on the prism, focus, and read the concentration and freezing point directly from the scale.
Recommendations
For optimal use, always clean the prism after each measurement to ensure accuracy. Regular calibration is recommended, especially if used in varying temperature conditions, to maintain precision. With a robust design, these refractometers are built to last, but proper maintenance will further extend their lifespan.
