Let's begin with the readability of the text. It's nearly impossible to tell where the division lines are. As a result, determining whether it's reading at 1 is extremely difficult. 027 or 1. And the precision is off by a large margin. Purchasing premade saltwater from a reputable LFS, which had a temperature of 1. 018 and 1 are two numbers. 029 on a regular basis After the refractometer had been properly calibrated with RO/DI water, these readings were taken. I purchased a standard digital salinity meter from a reputable retailer. The same saltwater is reading at 1 on the digital meter. With the digital meter, there was a 35-ppt calibration fluid. The refractometer was calibrated to the standard, but it read saltwater as 1. 030 and RO/DI water with a concentration of well over 1. After a few more refractometer calibration experiments; There is no way to calibrate it to ensure accurate readings. That's probably why it was on sale in the first place.
So far, everything has been correct!.
The refractometer is simple to use, but reading it can be challenging. This is what I teach my students to use to check the salinity in our classroom tank.
It does the job, but I've since purchased an ice kap digital reader that I much prefer.
