ATAGO's PAL-Urea: The Only Proven Portable Refractometer for DEF Concentration

ATAGO's PAL-Urea, the proven choice in Europe for fast, accurate measurements of Diesel Exhaust Fluid, is now available in the United States, just in time for the new 2010 EPA regulations.

(PRWEB) June 25, 2009 -- ATAGO Inc., manufacturer of the most accurate refractometers in the world, is announcing that the digital hand-held "Pocket" refractometer, the PAL-Urea, is available in the United States just in time to meet the needs of those in preparation for the new 2010 EPA regulations on diesel emissions. In the European market, ATAGO's PAL-Urea has been providing exemplary results in the determination of AdBlue urea concentration for the past four years. This tried and trusted instrument is now available in North America for measuring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in Selective Catalytic Reduction systems.

ATAGO USA General Manager, Frank Young, points out, "As the deadline for new regulations approaches, we've seen a growing interest from the SCR adoption community for an instrument that can provide quick, accurate readings of DEF. We're incredibly proud of the feedback our PAL-Urea has received from auto makers and service stations around the world." Indeed, as 2010 looms near, the majority of the transportation industry is turning to the Selective Catalytic Reduction system for its efficiency and its positive record of accomplishment overseas. "We are quite excited to be supporting the green movement by ensuring that these new diesel engines are getting the quality DEF they need to help the environment," Young states.    

Quality DEF needs to contain 32.5% urea concentration in order to be effective in reducing harmful Nox gasses. With the growing prevalence of SCR engines, trucking fleets, dealerships, and service stations everywhere are realizing the importance of having quality Diesel Exhaust Fluid on hand as the lifeblood of this new infrastructure.

The PAL-Urea is designed with needs of the end user in mind. Accurate, quick, portable, rugged, and easy to use, these are some of the features that ATAGO has put into this instrument for complete satisfaction:        
 
  • 0-40% (w/w) urea scale to make sure your sample is within an acceptable range
  • +/- 0.3% accuracy, digitally displayed on the LCD screen
  • Clean and zero set with regular tap water (IP65 Water Resistant)!
  • Powered by 2 AAA batteries, good for 11,000 measurements!
  • Equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
  • Light & Compact for simple one-handed operation!
  • Quick reading - Results appear in just 3 seconds!
