- Applications
CIMSTAR QUAL STAR XL* was developed for use on ferrous and most non-ferrous materials. It can be used on mild steels, stainless steels, hardened steels, and most non-ferrous alloys. It should not be used on magnesium alloys.
For use in moderate duty machining and grinding applications, such as milling, drilling, cut tapping, reaming, boring and in most grinding applications.- Concentration
An MI Titration, Non-solvent Titration, Total Alkalinity or Refractometer can be used.
The Refractometer Factor is 1.7
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.
