Description
The Salinity Digital Refractometer YR05953 // YR05960 is an essential tool for accurately measuring the salinity in solutions such as sodium chloride and seawater, as well as the refractive index of these solutions. Equipped with automatic temperature compensation (ATC), it eliminates the need for manual temperature corrections within the range of 0 to 40°C (32~104°F). Its user-friendly digital display provides quick and easy-to-read salinity readings, making it highly efficient for field and laboratory use.
Market Price
The average market price for digital refractometers like the Salinity Digital Refractometer YR05953 // YR05960 can range from $200 to $600, depending on the specific features and capabilities each model offers. This makes it an affordable yet reliable choice for professionals seeking precision in salinity and refractive index measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the automatic temperature compensation feature work? The ATC function automatically adjusts the readings based on the temperature of the sample, ensuring accurate measurements without manual correction.
Can this refractometer measure both TDS and Brix values? Yes, this model provides readings for both Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Brix, making it versatile for various applications, including coffee concentration analysis.
Advantages and Disadvantages
One of the main advantages of the Salinity Digital Refractometer YR05953 // YR05960 is its ease of use, requiring only one drop of the sample and offering fast results.
