Abanaki R1-B Hand-Held Refractometer
The Abanaki R1-B is a hand-held refractometer designed for measuring coolant concentration in laboratory and industrial settings. It offers a measurement range of 0 percent to 10 percent with a resolution of 0.1 percent. Automatic temperature compensation helps maintain reading accuracy across varying ambient conditions. The unit features an aluminium construction for durability in workshop environments.
Suited for coolant maintenance.
This instrument suits technicians who need to verify coolant and cleaner dilution ratios quickly on the shop floor. The 0.2 percent accuracy supports routine concentration checks for machining and maintenance programmes. Buyers who require a wider measurement span beyond 10 percent or need to analyse non-coolant fluids should look at alternative instruments. The specialised scale limits its use to specific coolant types.
Simple optical operation with minimal setup
Using the refractometer involves placing a few drops of fluid on the prism and reading the scale through the eyepiece, with the built-in light aiding visibility in low-light areas. Automatic temperature compensation removes the need for manual correction charts during typical shop-floor temperature swings. The most common issue is residue build-up on the prism, which can skew readings if not cleaned between samples. Regular calibration with a known reference fluid keeps the 0.2 percent accuracy reliable.

Questions about this item
What coolant or cleaner concentration range does the Abanaki R1-B refractometer measure?
It measures coolant and cleaner concentrations from 0 to 10 percent with 0.1 percent resolution and ±0.2 percent accuracy.
Does the automatic temperature compensation work with older coolant formulations I may still use?
Yes, automatic temperature compensation adjusts readings across coolant types so older formulations remain measurable without manual correction.
How do I confirm the refractometer reads correctly after I set it up?
Place a few drops of a known reference fluid on the prism, close the cover, and verify the scale shows the expected concentration value.
