Salinity Refractometers YR05887 // YR05914

Manufacturer: Kalstein

Description

The Salinity Refractometers YR05887 // YR05914 from Kalstein are precision instruments designed to deliver accurate readings of salt concentration in both research and industrial settings. These refractometers are crucial for controlling the quality of saltwater environments, such as marine tanks and laboratory research. Featuring an Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC) functionality, these refractometers ensure precise measurements by compensating for temperature discrepancies, making them highly reliable tools for measuring salinity with ease. Both models, YR05887 and YR05914, allow users to obtain direct readings for specific gravity and salt concentration, ranging from 0 to 28% salinity.

Price in the Market

Refractometers for measuring salinity vary widely in price depending on their precision and features. Generally, the price for a reliable optical refractometer like the YR05887 and YR05914 models can range between $20 and $60 in the market. This makes them an affordable option for quality control in laboratories and other industries with a need for accurate salinity measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the range of salinity that these refractometers can measure?
The YR05887 model can measure salinity from 2% to 4%, while the YR05914 model measures from 0% to 28%.

Do these refractometers require a power source?
No, they use ambient light and do not require batteries or an external power source.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:
The Salinity Refractometers YR05887 // YR05914 offer precision, durability with a pure aluminum build, and the convenience of ATC. They are portable, easy to use, and do not require batteries.

Disadvantages:
These refractometers might not be suitable for environments with dissolved solids other than salt, and their range might not cover all possible industrial applications requiring wider or more specific measurement scales.

Use of the Product in the Field

These refractometers are ideal for anyone needing precise salinity measurements, such as marine biologists, aquarium enthusiasts, and laboratory technicians. In practice, simply place a few drops of the solution on the measurement prism, close the light plate, and view the scale through the eyepiece to get an accurate reading while the ATC ensures temperature fluctuations do not impact the results.

Recommendations

For optimal use, ensure the instrument is calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Clean the refractometer regularly to prevent salt build-up, which can affect accuracy. Store it in a dry place to maintain its longevity. Consider using Kalstein Plus to generate a quick quote or inquire about bulk purchases to meet your laboratory or industrial needs efficiently.
