Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Rhino Duo-Chek Engine Coolant and Battery Test Refractometer is a reliable tool for testing engine coolant freeze points, glycol concentration, and battery charge conditions. It features automatic temperature compensation for accurate readings of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and battery electrolyte.

Specifications
  • Measures freeze point and concentration of ethylene and propylene glycol coolants.
  • Determines battery electrolyte specific gravity and charge level.
  • Water-resistant, dustproof, and shock-resistant design.
  • Automatic temperature compensation for accuracy at any temperature.
  • No batteries required, ensuring reliability.
  • Durable black polycarbonate housing.
  • Six measurement scales included.
  • Meets ASTM standards for confidence in measurements.

Models and Measurement Ranges
  • Model DC 70 and DC 60 with specific gravity range of 1.100-1.400.
  • Antifreeze protection for ethylene glycol from +32° to -60°F and propylene glycol from +32° to -60°F.
  • Coolant concentration scale for ethylene glycol 0-70% and propylene glycol 0-63%.
  • Refractive index range of 1.3330-1.4048.
  • Calibration with distilled water.

Importance of Testing Coolant
Proper coolant concentration prevents engine block freezing and overheating. Under or over-concentration can cause cavitation, corrosion, and system plugging. Testing ensures maximum effectiveness and prevents engine damage.

Accuracy and Standards
The Rhino Duo-Chek meets ASTM D3321-94 (2002) standards, ensuring measurements do not vary more than 1°F (0.5°C). It is more accurate than hydrometers, which can be off by up to 23°F.

Conclusion
The Rhino Duo-Chek refractometer is a superior choice for accurate engine coolant testing, providing reliable results and meeting industry standards.

Rhino Duo-Chek-2

The Rhino Duo-Chek Engine Coolant and Battery Test Refractometer is accurate. It stands out in the crowd. Why test engine coolant? Everyone knows that the proper concentration of engine coolant will keep the engine block from freezing and cracking in the winter months. On the other hand, the engine coolant will keep the engine from boiling over in the summer months. But did you also know that: Under Concentration of coolant/anti-freeze will cause: liner or water pump impeller cavitation general corrosion deposits on heat transfer surfaces plugging of the system with corrosion products Over Concentration...
