Professional 0\u201332 Brix Refractometer: Precision and Control<\/b><\/h4>\n

The 0\u201332 Brix refractometer is an essential tool for the daily monitoring of oil emulsions and polymer-based metalworking fluids. Accurately measuring the fluid concentration is the only way to ensure consistent performance and protect your mechanical investment.<\/p>

Why is ongoing monitoring crucial?<\/b><\/h4>\n

An emulsion is not static: during the work cycle, its percentage inevitably varies. Even if the initial filling is carried out correctly (e.g., at 5%), several factors can alter this value: <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Water evaporation: Due to the heat generated by the cutting process, water evaporates, dangerously increasing the oil concentration (product waste and risk of foaming).<\/li>\n
  • Entrainment: Some of the oil is carried away by the chips and machined parts, reducing its concentration (risk of rust and bacterial growth).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Using the refractometer on a daily basis allows you to:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Prevent spoilage and unpleasant odors: Keeping the percentage within the recommended range prevents the growth of bacterial colonies.<\/li>\n
    2. Protecting the machinery: If the concentration is too low, the mold and the machining center are exposed to corrosive phenomena (rust).<\/li>\n
    3. Optimize consumption: Avoid topping up with too much oil when it’s not necessary, thereby reducing purchase costs.<\/li>\n
    4. Ensuring cutting quality: Proper lubrication ensures superior surface finishes and longer tool life. <\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n
