Apera 5053 Food Salinity NaCl Salt Tester | 0–20%, ±0.4%, Soup, Broth & Sauce
Apera 5053 Food Salinity Tester — NaCl Salt Meter for Soup, Broth, Sauce & Liquid Foods
The Apera 5053 is a purpose-built NaCl salinity meter for the food, beverage, and catering industries. Its dip-and-test method delivers a stable salinity reading in just 10 seconds — faster and more reliable than hydrometers or refractometers. With a 0–20% NaCl range and ±0.4% accuracy , it covers everything from lightly seasoned broths to heavily brined preparations.
