Concentration

Non-solvent Titration, Total Alkalinity, CIMCHEK™ Test Strip or Refractometer can be used.
The Refractometer Factor is 1.1
Multiply the scale reading obtained on your CIMCOOL® Refractometer by this factor to obtain the mix concentration in percent. Calibrate the refractometer so that it reads 0.0 with water before testing the sample mix. Remove gross contaminants from the sample mixes before testing. A refractometer is only recommended for use in checking the concentration of a fresh charge.
