This professional refractometer is a versatile measuring instrument specifically developed for the quick and accurate determination of the concentration of critical fluids used in vehicles. It is an ideal choice for repair shops, workshops, and professionals seeking reliable diagnostic tools to optimize maintenance and inspection processes.
The device is excellently suited for measuring four different fluid types, ensuring that critical systems – such as the battery, cooling system, windshield washer fluid, and AdBlue – are always in optimal condition.
This refractometer is a combination of precision, durability, and user-friendly design, which simplifies measurement tasks encountered during daily workshop work.
Multifunctional Application: The freezing point of the antifreeze (coolant), the concentration of battery acid (electrolyte), windshield washer fluid (winter concentration), and AdBlue (urea solution) can all be measured with a single device.
High Accuracy: The precise optical system guarantees reliable measurement results, aiding in professional maintenance decisions.
Könnyű Kezelhetőség: Easy to use, only a few drops of sample are needed for measurement. The scale is easy to read.
Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of the workshop environment, ensuring a long service life.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): The built-in automatic temperature compensation (ATC) system ensures that ambient temperature fluctuations do not affect the accuracy of the measurement results.
The specifications of the device ensure broad usability and professional performance.

Optical System: High-quality prisms and lenses for a clear field of view.
Material Usage: Corrosion-resistant metal housing and optical elements.
Calibration: Factory set, easily calibrated with distilled water if necessary.
Display: High contrast, easily readable scale.
The refractometer allows for the measurement of the specific gravity (sg) of lead-acid battery electrolyte. This is critically important for assessing the charge status of the battery. Correct specific gravity ensures maximum starting performance and prevents premature failure.
Checking the coolant concentration is essential for protecting the engine against freezing in winter and maintaining an adequate boiling point in summer. The scale directly shows the freezing point in degrees Celsius.
Checking the freezing point of the windshield washer fluid ensures that the hoses and lines do not freeze during the winter period. The scale indicates the protection level based on the methanol or ethanol content.
AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid, urea solution according to ISO 22241 standard) is essential for the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system of modern diesel vehicles to reduce NOx emissions. The refractometer can be used to check the 32.5% urea concentration of AdBlue. An excessively low concentration can cause error codes and limit vehicle performance.
The refractometer designed for professional use is assembled to be immediately deployable in the workshop.
The standard package generally includes:
1 pc Multifunctional Refractometer
1 pc Pipette (for sample collection)
1 pc Calibration Screwdriver
1 pc Cleaning Cloth
1 pc Robust Storage Box
Note: Although the device has automatic temperature compensation (ATC), for the highest accuracy, it is recommended to take measurements at room temperature and check the calibration regularly.
This refractometer is an indispensable tool for any professional who performs quick, visual, and extremely accurate checks of vehicle fluid levels and quality. Its versatility and reliability guarantee efficient work in the field of automotive diagnostics.
