ATAGO MERA PAL UREA Digital Refractometer
ATAGO MERA PAL UREA Digital Handheld Refractometer:
Product Overview:
The ATAGO MERA PAL UREA is a professional-grade digital handheld refractometer specifically designed for the quick and accurate measurement of urea concentration in Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), which is also commonly referred to as AdBlue in Europe. This instrument ensures that the Diesel Exhaust Fluid maintains the critical $32.5%$ urea concentration necessary for the efficient operation of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems used in diesel vehicles to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Already a trusted instrument among European users, the PAL-Urea helps verify DEF purity, safeguarding against diluted products that can lead to engine problems, increased maintenance costs, and failures in meeting stringent emission regulations.
Key Features and Operational Benefits:
• Wide Measurement Range: Offers a broad urea measurement range from 0.0 to $55.0%$ (w/w), allowing for precise monitoring across various concentration levels.
• Rapid Results: Provides measurement values, including the prism temperature, in approximately 3 seconds, enabling quick on-site quality checks.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Features integrated ATC across the range of 10 to $40^{\circ}\text{C}$, ensuring accurate readings without manual temperature adjustments, even in changing environments.
• Extreme Durability: The unit boasts an International Protection Class rating of IP65, making it extremely water resistant. The device can be safely washed under running water for easy cleanup after use.
• Innovative ELI Feature: Equipped with the revolutionary and patented External Light Interference (ELI) feature, which minimizes potential errors caused by bright external light sources.
• Portability: Designed as part of the handheld PAL series, it is compact, lightweight (only $100\text{g}$ for the main unit), and can be easily operated with one hand, perfect for laboratory, industrial, or field applications.
• High Efficiency Battery Life: Runs on two AAA alkaline batteries and provides approximately 11,000 measurements before needing replacement.
Application: Ensuring DEF Quality and SCR Compliance:
Diesel Exhaust Fluid is standardized as a high-purity solution consisting of $32.5%$ urea and $67.5%$ deionized water by weight. Maintaining this precise concentration is critical. The MERA PAL UREA helps professionals in the automotive and transportation sectors confirm compliance with DEF quality standards, such as those set out in ISO 22241.
The use of low-quality or adulterated DEF (where the urea concentration may be too low, perhaps $30%$ or lower, or contaminated with impurities) risks costly damage to the SCR system's catalytic converter, injectors, and sensors. By providing highly accurate and quick digital readings, the MERA PAL UREA enables fleet operators and manufacturers to confirm the quality of DEF coming from the pump or tank, thereby preventing operational downtime and engine protection issues.
