Digital Wide Range Brix Refractometer - General Tools & Instruments

The General Tools & Instruments DREF45-121 Digital Wide Range Brix Refractometer is a precision instrument engineered for professional technicians and mechanics requiring accurate measurement of Brix (sugar content) and refractive index in various industrial and automotive fluids. This durable, hand-held device provides rapid digital readings, streamlining diagnostic and maintenance tasks for optimal system performance.

Key Features

• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Ensures precise readings across a temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C) without manual adjustments.
• Wide Brix Measurement Range: Accurately measures Brix from 0 to 35% with a resolution of 0.1% and an accuracy of ±0.1%.
• High-Resolution Refractive Index: Provides refractive index readings from 1.3330 to 1.3900 with a resolution of 0.0001 and accuracy of ±0.0003.
• Convenient Auto-Off Function: Conserves battery life by automatically shutting down after 3 minutes of idle time.
• Low Voltage Alarm: Alerts users when the 9V battery needs replacement, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
• Professional Grade Construction: Designed for reliability in demanding automotive and industrial environments, accompanied by a protective carrying case.

Applications
