Industrial (incl. Aviation & Heat Transfer)

Refractometers for aviation, fire fighting & heat transfer

Our industrial refractometers cover a broad spectrum of applications including heat transference refractometers, machine quenchants, refractometers for fire fighting foam and even refractometers used in the aviation industry.

The OPTi refractometer designed for green energy solutions measures glycol % making it a useful instrument for engineers working on air-conditioners, heat exchangers or even pasteurisers - and because it’s an OPTi refractometer it is IP65 rated against moisture ingress.

Our refractometers for aviation include an OPTi designed specifically for determining the concentration of aircraft anti-icing fluids (glycol & additives). When mixed with water prior to application to an aircraft’s wings the anti-icing fluids prevent ice build up during take-off.  The instrument can also be set up as a dual scale instrument, with the second scale offering fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) measurement in accordance with ASTM D 5006.

For the fastest, most accurate way of measuring Brix or Refractive Index by hand, we recommend the OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer which measures between 0-95 °Brix as standard.

Our range of digital refractometers for industrial applications are made in Germany by Bellingham + Stanley.
