Product catalog summary
Overview: The Reichert Digital Glycerin-Chek is a three-in-one tool designed for precise measurement of glycerin coolant properties, offering digital accuracy over traditional hydrometers. It is used in engine coolant systems and fire sprinkler systems to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Key Features:
  • Freeze Point Measurement: Provides accurate readings with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) at ASTM D3321 standard, ensuring the coolant prevents freeze-ups.
  • Boiling Point Measurement: Ensures the coolant raises the boiling point of water, preventing boil-overs and maintaining engine efficiency.
  • Concentration Measurement: Accurately measures glycerin concentration to prevent engine damage from incorrect chemical specifications.
Applications: Suitable for engine coolant systems and fire sprinkler systems, ensuring compliance with NFPA standards for glycerin concentration.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Method: Digital Refractometer
  • Accuracy: +/- 1 degree F for freeze and boiling points, 0.2% for concentration
  • Power: Operates on two AAA batteries, providing over 10,000 readings
  • Dimensions: 54 x 27 x 100 mm
  • Weight: 100 grams
  • Ratings: IP65 dustproof/water-resistant, CE, RoHS, and WEEE compliant
Advantages over Hydrometers: The Glycerin-Chek offers superior accuracy compared to hydrometers, which can be off by as much as +/- 23 degrees F in field conditions.
Additional Products: Reichert offers a range of digital testers for various applications, including Multi-Chek, Brake-Chek, EG-Chek, PG-Chek, and DEF-Chek models.
Contact Information: Reichert Technologies, Buffalo, New York, USA, with a European Service Center in Munich, Germany.

The Reichert Digital Glycerin-Chek® Brochure-1

Applications: Engine Coolant Systems • Fire Sprinkler Systems Glycerin-Chek Why take chances? For precise reading of Glycerin coolant concentration, hydrometers just don’t measure up. The Reichert Digital Glycerin-Chek accurately and effectively tests Glycerin coolant Freeze Point, Boiling Point, and % Concentration. This fast, simple test provides greater peace of mind for your customers while increasing your service business. Our accurate digital tester performs three critical tests on the engine coolant: Get dependable digital accuracy in a three-in-one tool! Measures Freeze Point of Glycerin coolant: The Reichert digital Glycerin-Chek’s Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) provides immediate, accurate, and direct readings at ASTM D3321 standard of +/- 1 degree F and +/- 0.55 degree C. This ensures that the coolant has a low freezing point, so there are no engine block or radiator freeze-ups when the vehicle is not in operation during the cold winter months. Measures Boiling Point of Glycerin coolant: The engine coolant raises the boiling point of water in a vehicle’s cooling system. This guards against boil-overs, engine break-downs, and ensures that the cooling system is operating at peak efficiency (see back). Measures % Concentration: Measures the exact concentration of the Glycerin and water mixture to ensure the engine coolant is at the correct chemical specification. Detect for either overconcentration or under-concentration of the coolant – either scenario will cause damage to engine components. Fire Sprinkler Systems: The Reichert Glycerin-Chek can be used to measure the concentration of antifreeze formulation in wet fire sprinkler systems. An NFPA-compliant antifreeze should not exceed 48% Glycerin concentration (National Fire Protection Association).
