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.
