Coolant: Testing and Inspection
SPECIFIC GRAVITY TEST
1. Measure the specific gravity of the coolant with a hydrometer.
2. Measure the coolant temperature and calculate the concentration from the relation between the specific gravity and temperature. Use the following
table for reference.
RELATION BETWEEN COOLANT CONCENTRATION AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Example
The safe operating temperature is -15 °C (5 °F) when the measured specific gravity is 1.058 at coolant temperature of 20 °C (68 °F)
CAUTION:
-
If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, its anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected.
-
If the concentration is above 60%, the engine cooling property will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain
the concentration level within the specified range.
-
Do not mix types of anti-freeze.
