QUANTOFIX® Nitrite/pH: Quick and easy determination of Nitrite and pH in cooling lubricants. Features: • This test allows the quick and easy determination of Nitrite and pH in cooling lubricants. • The easy dip-and-read-procedure provides a reliable result within 1 minute. • When metal parts are machined (drilling, cutting...) cooling lubricants or coolants are indispensable to guarantee the quality of the work piece as well as the lifetime of the machines. • QUANTOFIX® Nitrite/pH is for the rapid and reliable control of two important parameters in cooling lubricants. • The Nitrite test is an indicator for bacterial growth in the cooling lubricant cycle. • It allows early counteractive measures and therefore increases the lifetime of the cooling lubricant. • Thus, significant cost savings are possible. • A weekly determination of the Nitrite concentration is also recommended to protect workers from carcinogenic nitrosamine. • High levels of nitrite in the cooling lubricant foster the formation of this carcinogenic compound. • The pH-test is specially optimized for the demands of cooling lubricant analysis. • Small meshed testing cycles allow an early detection of pH changes. • Counteractive measures can be performed to keep the pH at the optimal level. • This ensures optimal protection against corrosion inhibits bacterial growth and therefore reduces maintenance costs.
