MORE POWERFUL THAN THE COMPETITION, AND LESS EXPENSIVE! INSANE PRICE FOR THE POWER! DID WE MENTION THAT IT IS MADE IN THE USA? IT IS! One BRAND NEW Sodium Chloride Salt Brine Refractometer Salometer -Celsius model - The Palm Abbe Digital Salometer makes it easier and more accurate than ever to measure the saturation (SAL) and freeze point of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Salt Brine Solutions. Only two drops of fluid are needed to automatically measure degrees saturation, from 0 to 100%, and Freeze Point to -21 degrees Celsius, making it the perfect instrument to accompany a brinemaker. Food Preservation: The actual practice of preserving food with salt brine can be traced to prehistory. Long before the advent of refrigeration, it was discovered that most bacteria cannot live in highly concentrated salt environments. Early humans discovered that salt and salt brine were useful to dry fruits, pickle vegetables, parch cereal and grains, and preserve game, fish, and seafood. The practice of soaking food in brine continues to this day. Deicing and Refrigeration: The ability of Sodium Chloride to depress the freeze point of water has led to its use as antifreeze or for refrigeration. In large quantities, Sodium Chloride is used to melt ice and snow on streets and highways. In fact, roughly 51% of world output of salt is used on roadways. The large dual-line LCD display on the Palm Abbe refractometer is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions, or tools. The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds. - each unit comes with a 1 Year Warranty (which is better than the other digital Brix Refractometers)!
