Description
The Salinity Digital Refractometer YR05953 and YR05960 are highly precise instruments designed to measure the salinity of solutions like sodium chloride and seawater, as well as the refractive index of measured solutions. These refractometers feature automatic temperature compensation (ATC), eliminating the need for manual temperature corrections between 0 to 40°C (32~104°F). With a standardized scale and a quick digital display, obtaining accurate and easy-to-read salinity readings becomes a seamless experience.
Market Price
The market price for digital refractometers can vary widely depending on features and brand, generally ranging from $150 to $450. Our refractometer is competitively priced within this range, offering exceptional value for its advanced features. To get the best price and quality, we invite you to request a quote or generate an automatic quotation through the Kalstein Plus platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calibrate the refractometer? The device allows easy calibration with just one drop of water; press the “ZERO” button to reset.
Is the refractometer suitable for measuring other solutions? Yes, apart from salinity, it can also measure coffee concentration (Total Dissolved Solids) and sugar content (Brix value).
Advantages and Disadvantages
One of the main advantages of this refractometer is its user-friendly design, requiring only one drop of sample for a reading. Its high accuracy and quick digital display are complemented by a portable and durable construction. However, while the refractometer is designed to withstand various conditions with its IP65 waterproof protection, it requires careful handling to maintain its precision over time.
Field Use
The Salinity Digital Refractometer is ideal for field use, whether you are monitoring seawater salinity, testing the salinity of water in aquariums, or conducting research in marine environments. Its portable design and durable construction allow for easy transportation and reliable performance in diverse situations.
Recommendations
To maximize the performance of your refractometer, ensure it is calibrated regularly and cleaned after each use to prevent any residue build-up that might affect its precision. Store it in a safe, dry place and avoid any impacts that might compromise its sensitive components.
