This refractometer is designed for fast and accurate determination of the battery electrolyte condition, isopropanol-based (IPA) windscreen washer fluids freezing point, ethylene glycol-based coolants freezing point and propylene glycol-based coolants freezing point.
Price tip: an affordable alternative to digital refractometer is the optical refractometer RBC4AB-ATC.

The measurement
The liquids measuring is very easy. By holding down the button "Cal" and repeatedly pressing the button "Meas" we choose a measuring scale. Place a few drops of the measured liquid on the cleaned sensor, press once the button "Meas" and the result value will be showed on the display.
