Hand-held salinity refractometer  |
ACC100 |
A salinity refractometer optimized to give a direct reading of percentage sodium chloride in the range 0 to 28%, with automatic temperature compensation. A single drop of the salt solution to be measured is placed on the viewing window, using the pipette supplied, and its salinity read against a high contrast scale, graduated in % sodium chloride, to give an accurate reading. |

|
Salt solution consumption sensor |
ACC102 |
This option comprises of an electronic liquid flow sensor mounted inside the chamber and sensor situated in-line between the salt solution reservoir and the salt spray atomizer. The sensor measures the flow of salt solution from the reservoir to the atomizer. The output from the is displayed digitally at the chamber HMI as instantaneous consumption in ml per min and total consumption in ml. |
