Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Area
- Applications
CIMSTAR®50-60K is recommended for turning, drilling, milling, reaming, boring, tapping, broaching, sawing and most grinding applications. It should not be used on magnesium alloys.
- Concentration
MI Titration, Non-solvent Titration, Total Alkalinity, CIMCHEK™ Test Strip or Refractometer can be used.
The Refractometer Factor is 1.3
A refractometer is only recommended for use in checking the concentration of a fresh charge. 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.
