refractometer

Dear MWF Mag,

Where can a find a good writeup on the theory of refractometers? I want to know how to prepare a sample to test, why I get different readings and if it measures only the water content (different oils have different refractive indices)

Dear Reader, Go to the TECHNOLOGY page of METALWORKING FLUID MAGAZINE. Under the TLT heading for March 2009 is an article titled "Greater Accuracy Through Digital Refractometers." These articles are republished by courtesy of STLE.  

Thanks for the question.
