What solution to use to set refractometer

[zephyros]

Hi,

Is there some solution that had to be use to set the

refractormeter reading to 1.000 salinity?

Or use tap water can already?

cheers

Maybe can use those distilled drinking water...

I use battery water leh

I don't think tapwater can be used

I calibrate mine using ultrapure water from the lab

i dun think anybody would have easy access to those ultrapure water.. using distilled water is an option.

thanks bros ... thot there is some solution like those for calibrating

pH pen ... so distilled water is at 1.000 salinity right

cheers

Let's put it this way, S.G. is made up of the many different components in the test solution other than water

You won't encounter this problem if you purchase a Lab Grade Tester for Salinity as the calibration solution comes with it.
