Coolant Rrefractometer, Automotive Coolant Meter ATC for Battery Fluid, Celcius and Fahrenheit

The RHA-501A model handheld coolant and battery acid refractometer measures the freezing point temperature (in ℃ and ℉) of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol based automobile antifreeze, and the specific gravity (SG) of battery fluid. The specifications are listed in the table below.

 

  • This model is commonly used in automotive maintenance and battery servicing.
  • The instrument body is made of copper material to maximize measurement accuracy and durability.
  • This model has Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC). Models without ATC are also available at a lower cost.

Product Description

The handheld coolant refractometer is widely used in car maintenance, repair workshops, and battery servicing. This tool helps ensure proper coolant protection in cold climates and accurate assessment of lead-acid battery charge levels.

The RHA-501A model handheld antifreeze and battery fluid refractometer is an universial tool that has its temperature scale in both °C and ℉. It has two functions.

  1. It measures the freezing point temperature of ethylene glycol- or propylene glycol-based automobile antifreeze in both °C and ℉. The reading indicates the temperature at which the tested solution will begin to freeze. 
  2. It measures the specific gravity (SG) of battery acid. Specific gravity is the density of the acid compared to water and indicates the state of charge of a lead-acid battery — higher sg means the battery is more fully charged.
