Checking coolant density

PERFORMANCE ORDER

	1. hydrometer, measure the specific gravity of the coolant.
2. Measure the temperature of the coolant, and depending on the temperature to calculate the concentration in the antifreeze coolant.

The ratio between the concentration of antifreeze and coolant specific gravity

Coolant temperature ?� C and a specific gravity of					Freezing Point ?� C	Safe working temperature ?� C	Concentration Coolant
10	20	thirty	40	50	Freezing Point ?� C	Safe working temperature ?� C	Concentration Coolant
1,054	1,050	1,046	1,042	1,036	-16	-eleven	thirty%
1,063	1,058	1,054	1,049	1,044	-20	-15	35%
1,071	1,067	1,062	1,057	1,052	-25	-20	40%
1,079	1,074	1,069	1,064	1,058	-thirty	-25	45%
1,087	1,082	1,076	1,070	1,064	-36	-31	50%
1,095	1,090	1,084	1,077	10.70	-42	-37	55%
1,103	1,098	1,092	1,084	1,076	-50	-45	60%

Example

Safe Operating Temperature -15 ?� C with the suspension and the specific gravity of 1,058 coolant temperature of 20 ?� C

A warning

If the concentration of coolant is below 30%, lowered coolant anticorrosive properties. At a concentration of more than 60% frost coolant deteriorates.

Recommended coolant

Antifreeze	The content of the antifreeze coolant
Ethylene glycol	50%
