Laser Tools has highlighted a quick and accurate method of checking the safety of brake fluids using its Fluid Boiling Point Tester.


Non-silicone based brake fluids absorb moisture over their service life and braking efficiency and safety is greatly reduced. As the level of moisture in the brake fluid increases, the boiling point gets lower, and the fluid cannot safely perform its vital function. Therefore brake fluid should be tested, and the most efficient and accurate method of testing brake fluid is to actually measure its boiling point.

The Laser Tools Tester (part number 6802) is designed to measure the boiling point of brake fluid quickly and with digital accuracy. It works on all grades of brake fluid and features a the bright LCD screen which shows clearly the temperature the brake fluid has boiled at, and recommends whether the brake fluid in the vehicle should be replaced.

The tester is quick and easy to set up. Technicians use the syringe to collect a sample and place it into the small glass container. The probe from the device is placed into this fluid and the grade of fluid is selected for test. The unit displays the actual boiling point of the fluid, plus the standard dry and wet boiling points for the grade being tested. If “OK” is displayed, the brake fluid is within the safe range; if the warning symbol is displayed, brake fluid is going out of range and replacement is recommended. An X symbol means the fluid needs immediate replacement.

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that brake fluid is changed every two years and Laser says its Tester provides an easy to use but very accurate method of testing brake fluid efficiency.
