PCE Instruments PCE-DRD 1 Salinometer for determining the percentage of sodium chloride in water
(Incl. Tax: €286.26)
The PCE-DRD 1 Salinometer is designed for measuring the percentage of sodium chloride in water. It is a user-friendly instrument that provides accurate salinity readings, making it suitable for various applications such as aquaculture, food processing, and water quality monitoring. The device features a compact design and typically includes an easy-to-read display, allowing users to quickly obtain measurements. It operates on the principles of conductivity and can efficiently determine the salinity levels in different water samples. The PCE-DRD 1 is ideal for professionals seeking reliable and precise salinity analysis.
This digital salinometer represents an advanced solution for the quick and precise determination of salt content in liquids. Based on the principle of refractometry, the instrument measures both sodium chloride concentration (0–28% NaCl) and the Brix degree, with accuracy guaranteed by the refractive index (1.3330–1.4200 nD).
The robust ABS structure with IP65 protection makes it resistant to splashes and humidity, ideal for demanding work environments. The unit features an optical prism protected by a funnel-shaped stainless steel ring, ensuring durability and easy cleaning after each measurement.
