Basic Refractometer Reading

P/N:	OPT10	OPT32
Brix Range:	0-10	0-32
Accuracy:	± 0.1%	± 0.2%

Check your coolant’s technical data sheet to determine where your coolant will read on the Brix Scale. Some have a “Refractometer Factor” which you multiply the scale reading by to obtain the value in percent.

Select a scale that will read your target value, but also higher values, due to evaporation at the sump level.

Digital Inline Process Refractometers

Zebra has a full line of DIGITAL INLINE, PROCESS REFRACTOMETERS for a wide range of applications with various calibrations (machine shop coolant concentration is measured in BRIX) and fluid turbidity.

DIGITAL PROCESS REFRACTOMETERS can be connected to PLC’S or other control devices to automate processes in a variety of Industries and applications: metalworking, apiary, glycol, HVAC, etc.

Zebra developed and patented sump fluid concentration automation and uses the technology to automatically control both sump concentration and level in the Dazzle2.

Glycol Refractometers for Automobile Coolants and Battery Acids

Zebra Glycol Refractometers have a temperature scale to read the protection rating of an ethylene and propylene glycol mixture as well as battery acids.

These units are pre-calibrated at the factory. To verify that it is calibrated you can put a few drops of water onto the lens, then close the lid. You should notice that the line reads just below the 30°F mark. This is the indication that it is reading correctly.

Once you have your glycol mixture ready place a few drops of it onto the lens. The line will indicate at what temperature your mixture will protect your equipment.
