- Irreplaceable in the kitchen — the salt meter is perfect for measuring the salinity of solutions, brines and i pickles used in processing and production of sausage and cheese!
- High quality — the salt meter is made of high-quality transparent glass (the areometer) and plastic (the measuring cylinder) suitable for contact with food.
- Easy to use — measuring the salt concentration in brine is extremely easy! Just pour the tested brine into the narrow measuring cylinder and immerse the float in it, and then read the measurement.
- Clear scale — the clear coloured scale will help you to read the result and immediately know the concentration of the solution in [g] of salt per 1 litre of water.
- Optimum conditions of operation — because the salt meter was calibrated at 20°C, it is recommended that the tested liquid has a similar temperature during the test.
The salt meter is an indispensable device in processing and production of sausage and cheese! A must-have for your kitchen! This simple device made of a narrow plastic measuring cylinder and a glass float will allow you to measure the salt concentration in all kinds of solutions. The salt meter will be perfect not only for checking cheese brines, but also for preparing marinades for pickling vegetables (e.g. cucumbers), fish and meat. By using the salt meter, you no longer have to worry about excessively salty foods and preserves! Measuring the salt concentration in the brine is extremely easy. Just to pour the tested brine into the measuring cylinder (an amount that allows for the free immersion of the float) and then read the result. After inserting the areometer into the measuring cylinder, the result is read directly from the clear coloured scale as the concentration of the solution ([g] of salt per 1 litre of water). Caution! The salt meter was calibrated at 20°C, therefore the tested liquid should have the same temperature.
