Rubber hand grip eliminates transmission of hand heat to reduce errors
Features the largest, sharpest scale display
for the most accurate salinity and specific
gravity readings available (±1.0% salinity
and ±0.001 specific gravity). Easy, no-tool
calibration, with automatic compensation for shifts in ambient temperature
(from 10°- 30°C). Compact and portable for use anywhere. Metal housing and
rubber hood protect unit and prevent light from entering eyepiece. Features built-in
calibration ring, no-roll stand, rubber grip to insulate against hand heat, storage
case, instructions, and more. Range: 0 - 100 parts per thousand salinity, 1.000-1.070 specific gravity.

Instruction Manual
Range: Salinity: 0-100%; Specific Gravity: 1.000-1.070 Resolution: Salinity: 1%; Specific Gravity: 0.001 Accuracy: Salinity: +1%; Specific Gravity: +0.001 Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Yes Sample Temperature: 10-30°C Dimensions: 40 x 40 x 185 mm Weight: 285 g
Easy to Use
Operation consists of placing 1 to 2 drops of the sample on the prism, closing the daylight plate over the sample, then looking through the focusable, cushioned-rubber eyepiece for the reading.
Accurate
Featuring the larges, easiest-read scale available with clear, sharp figures. These features significantly enhance the overall accuracy of our readouts - even when the instrument is used by several different operators. This model features a rubber grip on the body, which blocks the transmission of hand heat to reduce temperature errors.
Simple Calibration
The calibration ring eliminates the hassle of turning a calibration screw with a screwdriver while looking through the refractometer's eyepiece. Simply loosen the set screw, place a few drops of water on the prism, turn the built-in calibration ring until the shadowline is at zero, and secure the set screw - that's it.
Durable
Features a rugged construction for years of reliable use. The prism is mounted in all-metal housing which allows the sample and prism to reach temperature equilibrium quickly. Also features a non-roll stand to ensure that once the unit is set down, it won't be prone to roll off a table or benchtop.
