KERN Digital Refractometer - ORL 94IN (Automotive)
KERN ORL 94IN
The ORL 94IN is a digital desktop refractometer made for industrial and automotive applications. It is used to test liquids such as antifreeze, battery fluid, and windshield washer fluid with speed and accuracy. Its wide measuring range and reliable performance make it ideal for car workshops, production facilities, and quality control labs.
This model includes eight pre-installed scales, including Brix and refractive index, as well as specific industrial scales like ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, battery fluid, and washer fluid. You can easily switch between scales with one button, allowing you to measure different fluids with the same device.
The refractometer uses the total reflection measuring method to ensure precise and repeatable results. It has a large, easy to read digital display that shows both the measured value and temperature. The built in automatic temperature compensation (ATC) keeps results accurate even when samples are warm or cold, removing the need for manual correction.
Calibration is fast and easy using regular distilled water. The ORL 94IN is designed for daily industrial use and requires no maintenance. It is protected against dust and splashes according to IP43 standards, ensuring long lasting durability.
The device can perform mean value measurements for more stable results and connects to a computer via USB. It works with the free OXR-BASIC software, which allows you to record, save, and export measurement data easily.
The package includes a pipette, USB cable, power adapter, screwdriver, storage case, and user manual. The KERN ORL 94IN combines precision, simplicity, and efficiency for fast liquid testing in industrial and automotive settings.
