Brightwell Aquatics Refractometer & Hydrometer Calibration Standard 250ml (RES250) is a precision reference solution used to calibrate seawater refractometers, hydrometers, and other density measuring equipment for marine aquariums. It provides a consistent standard so your salinity/specific gravity readings are aligned with the intended target value, helping you fine-tune reef and saltwater systems more confidently.
Features:
- Calibrates refractometers and swing-arm hydrometers for saltwater salinity testing.
- Target reference values are stated for marine use: 35 ppt salinity and 1.026 specific gravity (at 25°C).
- Formulated as a laboratory-quality standard fluid to support consistent, repeatable calibration.
- Includes value guidance for both equipment types, supporting accurate tool verification during normal maintenance.
- Made for aquarium hobbyists who rely on density measurements to manage saltwater aquarium conditions.
- 250 ml size for ongoing calibration needs.
- Simple use: shake the product well before using and allow appropriate wait time for refractometer readings.
