KERN Digital Refractometer - ORM 2CA (Automotive) - Brix, EG, EG%, PG, PG%
KERN ORM 2CA
The ORM 2CA is a digital handheld refractometer made for measuring coolants, antifreeze, and heat-transfer fluids. It is mainly used in the automotive, chemical, and solar industries to check temperature exchange systems quickly and precisely. It helps control the mixing ratio of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol in both percentage and temperature values.
This refractometer uses the total reflection measuring method to ensure accurate and repeatable results. You can easily switch the display to show different scales, including percentage, °C, or Brix, depending on the test you are doing. This flexibility makes it useful for mechanics, service workshops, and production plants that need to monitor cooling and antifreeze liquids.
The large digital display is clear and easy to read. It also shows the sample temperature directly on the screen. The built in automatic temperature compensation (ATC) ensures that readings stay correct even if the sample is not at room temperature. You do not need to make any manual corrections.
Calibration is fast and simple. You can use ordinary distilled water at any time. The ORM 2CA has a strong and durable design that is easy to hold and built for regular daily use. It meets IP65 protection standards, which means it is safe against dust and water. After measuring, you can rinse it under running water.
The refractometer can also perform mean value measurements for more stable readings. It runs on one AAA battery and is ready to use anywhere.
The package includes a prism cover, pipette, storage box, AAA battery, and user manual.
