Refractometers for Accurate Coolant Concentration
August 1, 2015
Eriez HydroFlow refractometers are designed to be simple yet rugged instruments that give users the ability to quickly determine the concentration of metalworking coolants and cleaners, heat-treating fluids, water-based hydraulic fluids and plating baths. "Maintaining proper concentration control is essential to increase fluid performance and longevity," said a company spokesperson.
"The best-run fluid management programs always measure fluid condition so that corrective actions can be taken before problems develop," said John Mackowski, Metalworking Product Manager. "If fluid is run too lean, tool life and fluid life can drop dramatically. If fluid is run too rich, money is wasted."
Eriez HydroFlow offers a number of different refractometer styles. Portable refractometers require no batteries. They feature a large, easy-to-read scale that is available in two ranges: 0-10° Brix and 0-32° Brix.
Automatic temperature compensating refractometers provide a solution for situations in which the temperature of certain fluids can affect the refractive index reading of the mix. They have a large scale available in two ranges: 0-20° Brix and 0-30° Brix.
Hand-held digital refractometers, designed for accuracy, are also available. They feature an LCD readout with a 0-52° Brix range.
