Bath Analyzer 10 has been upgraded to include a digital thermometer displaying both ºC and ºF. Measures concentration and indicates alkalinity of baths containing Atron and Vigon cleaning agents. Developed as alternative to Refractive Index method; designed to monitor chemical bath concentrations regardless of dissolved organics (i.e., fluxes). Said to extend overall bath life. One case includes all tools to measure concentration; a color coding system indicates the bath’s alkalinity. Can serve as a calibration metrology for refractive index measurements by controlling any deviation caused by flux loading.
