This digital refractometer is a rugged, portable, water resistant device that utilizes the measurement of the refractive index to determine the salinity of natural and artificial seawater, ocean water or brackish intermediates.
Features:
- Designed for seawater salinity analysis
- High accuracy measurements displayed as PSU, ppt and specific gravity
- Dual-level LCD displays measurement and temperature readings simultaneously
- Automatic Temperature Compensation
- Easy Measurement: place a few drops of the sample in the well and press the READ key
- Alerts the user of low battery power that could adversely affect readings
- IP65 Water Protection: built to perform under the harsh field conditions associated with environments containing seawater
- Readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds
- Calibrate with distilled or deionized water
- Sample can be as small as 2 metric drops
- Automatic shut-off after three minutes of non-use
- Stainless Steel Sample Well: easy to clean and corrosion-resistant
