In seconds, the
Brake-Chek tester accurately measures brake fluid to detect its boiling point,
allowing you to determine whether the fluid
will do its job in the braking system. The world’s smallest brake fluid testing
device, its offer quick, automatic digital measurement in seconds
and is extremely economical to operate, providing over 10,000+ measurements on
two “AAA” batteries. The Brake-Chek is IP65 rated
for water and dust resistance. Features a 5 digit, full view LCD screen that
displays all measurement data in one view.
The Brake-Chek
digital pocket refractometer is supplied with a detachable neck lanyard and
non-slip rubber side grips for ease of handling.
An optional accessory holster case (cell phone type) is available.
When water content in brake fluid increases...
1. The boiling point decreases
Fluid with a reduced
boiling point can create a vapor by boiling in the wheel cylinder. Normally this
could happen under adverse conditions
such as braking down a long steep grade or with stuck brake pads. Under these
conditions rotor temperatures can climb high enough to boil
brake fluid with high water content. Stepping on the brake pedal will now only
compress the vapor instead of applying force to the pad.
The result is sudden brake failure. DOT 3 Fluid with no moisture content boils
at greater than 401°F (205°C) as specified by DOT Standard 116.
The fluid in a 3 to 4 year old car with 3 to 4% moisture content could boil at
less then 300°F (149C).
The dry boiling points for the brake fluid classes are:
Fluid Type Dry Boil Point
DOT 3 401 °F/205°C
DOT 4 446°F/230°C
2. The viscosity increases
Brake Fluid must flow freely to be effective. In extremely cold weather brake fluid with high water content is very viscous, causing slow pedal response and requiring more effort.
3. Corrosion problems can occur
Water in brake fluid can contribute to the corrosion of parts such as the steel pistons and ABS modulators.
