Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What liquids can I test with this handheld refractometer?
A: This refractometer is designed to measure antifreeze (ethylene glycol and propylene glycol) concentration and freezing point, as well as sugar (Brix) content in liquids such as fruit juices, syrups, wines, and other beverages. It is a versatile tool suitable for both automotive and food/beverage applications.
Q: Does the refractometer require batteries or calibration?
A: No batteries are required — this is a fully optical instrument. For best accuracy, it is recommended to calibrate it using distilled water before each use session. Simply place a few drops of distilled water on the prism and adjust the calibration screw until the scale reads zero.
Q: How many drops of liquid are needed for a reading?
A: Only 2–3 drops of liquid are needed on the prism to obtain a clear and accurate reading. This makes it very economical and easy to use in the field or workshop.
Q: Is this refractometer suitable for automotive and home use?
A: Yes! Its compact, handheld design makes it ideal for use in the garage to check your vehicle's antifreeze levels, as well as in the kitchen or home brewing setup to monitor sugar content. It is a practical multi-purpose measuring tool.
