Description
The Salinity Digital Refractometer YR05953 // YR05960 is an advanced tool designed to accurately measure the salinity of solutions such as sodium chloride, seawater, and the refractive index of various measured solutions. Its standout feature is automatic temperature compensation (ATC), which renders temperature corrections unnecessary from 0 to 40°C (32~104°F). This ensures the device is highly reliable and user-friendly, displaying precise readings on a digital screen. Whether you’re measuring Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Brix (%), or temperature (°C), this refractometer offers ease of use and rapid calibration.
Market Price
For professionals seeking a high-accuracy device like the Salinity Digital Refractometer, typical market prices range from $200 to $600. This device offers exceptional value, making it a competitive option for laboratories, research facilities, and fieldwork where precise salinity measurements are paramount.
