Brix refractometers are effective at measuring coolant concentration. Coolant’s primary purpose is to lubricate and cool the work surface and tooling. Each coolant works best for a given application at a recommended concentration of it to water. Monitor the initial coolant charge, then each day, as evaporation increases concentration at the sump level. Maintaining the recommended concentration is essential in order to prevent problems.

Frequently asked questions

  • This refractometer measures the concentration of metalworking coolant in water using the Brix scale. Each coolant performs best at a specific concentration for a given application, and keeping that concentration accurate helps prevent problems with lubrication and cooling of the work surface and tooling.

  • Evaporation causes water to leave the sump over time, which progressively increases coolant concentration beyond the recommended level. Daily monitoring allows you to catch and correct concentration drift before it leads to performance or tooling issues.

  • This instrument covers 0 to 10 Brix, which suits coolants used at low working concentrations. Before purchasing, confirm with your coolant supplier that the recommended concentration for your specific coolant falls within this range — if your coolant is used at higher concentrations, a wider-range model may be needed.

  • It includes a locknut specifically for calibration, allowing you to adjust the instrument and then lock the setting in place to maintain accurate readings over time.

  • This model includes a comfortable eyepiece, an easy-to-read bright scale, adjustable focus, a textured sleeve for gripping, a locknut for calibration, and a carrying case. Features such as the well-lit scale, integrated drip feed, and anti-roll support are designated as Specialist Only and are not included on this variant.

  • Yes, it includes a carrying case, making it easy to store and transport the instrument safely between uses.
