PCE Car measuring device / brake fluid tester PCE-BFT 2

Although the brake fluid in vehicles is in a closed system, water slowly and continuously enters the circuit via the humidity. The aging of the brake fluid also changes its properties permanently. The increased water content changes the properties of the brake fluid and thus the braking function. The brake fluid is an important link in the transmission of braking forces within the brake system of every vehicle. Regular checking of the brake fluid is therefore extremely important in order to prevent a lack of brake pressure and to ensure safety when driving, especially in the event of emergency braking, as it is precisely at these moments that the maximum available braking power is usually crucial. The wireless brake fluid tester from PCE Instruments is the ideal tool for quickly and precisely checking the water content in the brake fluid to ensure adequate safety at all times, even outside of recommended maintenance intervals. If there is a water content of just three percent in the brake fluid of a vehicle, there is a risk of total failure. The increased water content causes the boiling point of the brake fluid to drop. As a result, bubbles can form under heavy loads and the vehicle is no longer able to brake optimally. The brake pressure is transmitted via the brake fluid. Only regular checking of the fluid with a brake fluid tester can guarantee that the brake system functions reliably. The increased water content can also lead to corrosion within the system. With the brake fluid tester from PCE Instruments, the three most common brake fluid types DOT3, DOT4 and DOT5.1 can be easily and effectively checked for their water content. The brake fluid tester uses a sensor (sensor length: 190 mm) to determine the amount of water in the test fluid. The brake fluid tester shows the determined values clearly on the large, illuminated LC display. The lighting guarantees optimal readability of the data even in unfavorable lighting conditions. By using the brake fluid tester, the user gets a quick overview of the water content and recognizes when the brake fluid needs to be changed. The brake fluid tester display has a four-stage system. If the water content in the brake fluid is too high, the brake fluid tester also triggers an acoustic alarm. Regular checking of the brake system using the brake fluid tester ensures the quality of the brake fluid. In order to guarantee flexible, location-independent use of the brake fluid tester, the device is equipped with batteries. To protect the battery, the brake fluid tester has an automatic switch-off function. The manufacturer has also equipped the brake fluid tester with a practical adjustment function. Areas of application for brake fluid testers The brake fluid tester reliably helps with ongoing maintenance and thus ensures a safe journey. It is particularly important to constantly check the fluid with the brake fluid tester on old or rarely used vehicles. The compact and handy shape of the brake fluid tester as well as battery operation guarantee flexible use. The brake fluid tester from PCE Instruments is therefore ideal for use in vehicle workshops, companies with large fleets and for experts. Due to its uncomplicated handling, the brake fluid tester is also ideal for use in private areas.
