Electronic Salinometer

Salinometers are used to test the amount of salt in a solution. You’ll use your salinometer to make sure you have enough salt in your pickling solution when tanning furs and hides with the hair on. It is very useful for accurate tanning and is of professional quality. These are extremely easy to use. First, push the power button. There are a few ways to read salinity, but I prefer the percentage readout. Remove the cap from the bottom, put the electrode in your solution and read the screen. The electrode must be in the solution to get an accurate output (it changes as soon as you remove it). After use, rinse the electrode and put the cap back on. What is particularly useful about an electronic salinometer vs. the traditional bobbing specific gravity kind is that the reading isn’t impacted by the tannin. This allows you to figure out how much salt is in your tannin, and then as a result, how much of the bk reading on your barkometer is tannin, vs. how much is salt. A useful instruction sheet with details on readings comes with your Electronic Salinometer.

Tanned a full sheepskin with 5lbs of the extract. 4 days ago Camille Reviewer 5/5 The wetscraper arrived promptly and feels really sturdy. I bought it for cleaning up a full sheepskin someone gave me, but the skin was actually so clean already that I haven’t put the scraper to use yet. It will come in handy with the next skin, probably! 4 days ago Anne F.
