Instructions
Adblue is a urea additive in the
exhaust flow which reduces NOx-
emissions in HGVs and Light
Commercials. This refractometer can
check the concentration of Adblue
with just a small amount of fluid.
Includes: Refractometer, Precision
Screwdriver, Dropper and Cleaning
Cloth.

Refractometer for Adblue
Designed for checking the
concentration of Adblue
Adblue is the registered trademark for
AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%)
and is used in a process called selective
catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce
emissions of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of diesel engined motor vehicles.
It is a 32.5% solution of high-purity urea
in demineralised water that is clear, non-
toxic and safe to handle.
However, it can be corrosive for some
metals and must be stored or transported
using the correct materials.
The Adblue trademark is currently held by
the German Association of the Automobile
Industry (VDA) who ensure quality
standards are maintained in accordance
with ISO 22241 specifications.

Operation Instruction
1= Cover plate
2= Prism
3= Calibration screw
4= Mirror tube
5= Eyepiece (focus adjustment)
It is important to regulate the temperature
of the sample, the instrument and the
room as much as possible. Changes in
temperature can affect the final result.
Temperature
Specification
Measuring Range 0-40%
Resolution 0.2
Measurements 27mm x 40mm x 160mm
Weight 175g You may need to calibrate the instrument
before use or after a rise or fall in
temperature.
1. Open the cover plate (2).
2. Drop 1/2 drops of distilled water onto
the prism (1).
3. Adjust the meter to zero (0).
4. Close the cover plate (2) and press
gently.
5. Rotate and adjust the calibration screw
(3) until the light blue boundary line
meets the zero (0) line.
Calibration
1. Take a sample of the Adblue mixture
2. Place a droplet on the prism and cover
3. Look through the eye-piece
4. Adjust the light if necessary to focus the
line between the dark and light areas.
5. Line this up with the marked
measurement scale
6. Take the reading
Measurement
• Use only soft tissue or cloth to clean
the prism as it is very easily scratched.
• Dab away the sample and then use
distilled water or a glass-safe solvent
such as alcohol to clean the prism.
Cleaning
• Adjustment for the distilled water
and sample should be in the same
temperature.
• Once the temperature changes, the
zero (0) point should be adjusted once
per 30 seconds.
• Do not immerse in water
• This is a precision optical instrument
and should be handles gently
• Do not touch or scratch the optical
surface.
• Please keep it in a dry, clean and non-
corrosiveness environment
• Avoid dropping
