Checking Metalworking Fluid pH – Featuring Abom79 aka Adam Booth

Justin Geach, the Global Marketing Director at Master Fluid Solutions, and Adam Booth, also known as Abom79, discuss additional ways to test coolant quality beyond using a refractometer. While a refractometer is essential for measuring concentration, checking the pH level of the #coolant is another important step.

The pH level is a key indicator of the coolant's condition. Generally, if the coolant #concentration is within the recommended range and the coolant is not contaminated, the pH will likely align with this. However, each coolant has its own recommended pH range. If there are concerns about the coolant's condition, checking the pH can be informative. A dropping pH level can indicate issues like bacterial growth, contamination, or sludge in the tank, even if the concentration seems correct.

To test the pH, use a pH strip. Immerse it in clean coolant for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring the entire strip is covered. The strip will change color based on the pH level. After removing the strip from the coolant, compare the colors on the strip to the reference chart on the box to determine the pH range. A typical sign that the pH is starting to drop is a noticeable change in the color and odor of the coolant.

Maintaining the pH within the specific range recommended for your coolant is vital. Regular monitoring can help in early detection of issues and ensure the effectiveness and longevity of the coolant.
