Regular price £299.00 Sale

This tri-scale digital refractometer is great for car mechanics and fleet managers wishing to check the concentration of Diesel Exhaust Fluids (commonly known as DEF or AdBlue®) that form part of a NOx reduction system in diesel powered vehicles. In addition, this particular OPTi digital refractometer not only displays %DEF but also comes with scales for measuring °F Ethylene Glycol (°F Freezing Point), ideal for measuring automotive coolants such as Antifreeze, and Sulphuric Acid for testing battery acid; particularly in the United States of America.

Scale A is set to AdBlue (DEF)

Scale B is set to (°F Freezing Point)

Scale C is set to Sulphuric Acid (battery acid) 

The OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer - Automotive (AdBlue - DEF/Ethylene Glycol °F/Sulphuric Acid) scales are preselected at despatch, but may be reassigned using the scale selection method detailed here.
