Description

The ATC Car Refractometers YR05916 // YR05930 are precision instruments designed for automotive and industrial applications. These refractometers are equipped with an automatic temperature compensation (ATC) feature that ensures accurate readings by adjusting to temperature discrepancies during use. Perfectly suited for measuring the freezing points of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol-based cooling systems, they also determine the concentration of these chemicals in antifreeze liquids. An additional scale allows for testing the freezing point of windshield cleaning fluids, making them a versatile tool for automotive maintenance. Constructed with a high-quality pure aluminum body, these refractometers are durable and built to last, providing reliable performance without the need for batteries or external power sources.

Market Price

The ATC Car Refractometers YR05916 // YR05930 are available in the market with prices ranging from $70 to $240, depending on the model and features. This price range makes them an affordable yet essential tool for automotive workshops and enthusiasts looking to maintain precise control over vehicle cooling systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is ATC, and why is it important? ATC stands for Automatic Temperature Compensation, a crucial feature that adjusts the refractometer reading to account for temperature changes, ensuring precise measurements.
• Can these refractometers be used with any antifreeze liquid? Yes, they are compatible with both ethylene and propylene glycol-based solutions, commonly found in automotive coolant systems.
• Do I need any batteries to operate the refractometer? No, these refractometers operate using ambient light, eliminating the need for batteries or a power source.

Advantages and Disadvantages

One of the primary advantages of the ATC Car Refractometers is their versatility and ease of use, with no reliance on batteries and an automatic temperature compensation feature. They provide precise readings critical for vehicle maintenance. However, while they are robust and resilient, proper handling and periodic calibration are advised to maintain accuracy over time.

Product Use in the Field

In practical scenarios, these refractometers are invaluable for automotive technicians who need to assess coolant performance quickly. Simply place a few drops of the liquid to be tested on the prism, close the cover, and look through the eyepiece to read the results. It’s a straightforward yet effective way to ensure that your vehicle’s cooling system is operating efficiently.

Recommendations

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your refractometer, clean the prism and cover after each use with a soft, damp cloth. Regularly calibrate the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain precise measurements. For best results, store it in a protective case when not in use.
