The
HI96831
Digital Refractometer is a rugged portable, water
resistant device that utilizes the measurement of refractive index to
determine the % volume and freezing point of ethylene glycol based
coolants or antifreeze.
The
HI96831
device benefits from Hanna Instruments’ years of experi‑
ence as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. The digital
refractometer eliminates the uncertainty associated with mechanical
refractometers and is easily portable for use in the field to optimize
your cooling system.
The
HI96831
refractometer is an optical device that is simple and
quick to use. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration
with distilled or deionized water. Within seconds, the refractive
index and temperature are measured and converted into one of two
measurement units; % Volume or Freezing Point. The instrument
utilizes internationally recognized references for unit conversion and
temperature compensation for ethylene glycol solutions (e.g. CRC
Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 87
th
Edition).
The temperature (in °C or °F) is also displayed on the large dual level
display along with helpful message codes.
Key features include:
• IP65 waterproof protection
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non‑use
