SEAL 6V2445 - Caterpillar

Reference: Service Magazine, June 9, 1986, Page 11, "Nitrite Test Kit Available For Cooling Systems." Helps reduce downtime while protecting your equipment investment.
This inexpensive kit is designed for use on all Caterpillar products with water cooled engines. It's also usable with any other water cooled equipment. The kit provides correct preventive maintenance of cooling systems.
You get validation of 100% acceptable concentrations of ethylene glycol and the coolant conditioners that are normally added every 250 hours of engine running time.
The 8T5296 Coolant Conditioner Test Kit contains a specific gravity tester, dropper pipet, scribed testing vial, Solution A (2), Solution B and testing chart with instructions - all packaged in a zipper pouch.... Helps assure efficient, trouble-free cooling system operation.
... Helps avoid premature failure of cooling system and engine components and costly, unnecessary downtime and loss of productivity.
Simply adding conditioner is not enough. Guesswork is too risky. That is because insufficient coolant conditioner may result in pitted cylinder liners. And excessive concentrations cause radiator tube blockage and deposit buildup on hot surfaces - resulting in overheating, water pump seal seepage/leakage and cylinder head cracking.
No delays. No guesswork. Complete each test in five minutes, for just pennies with three easy testing steps: 1. Count the floating balls to check antifreeze concentration.2. Count the drops to check conditioner concentration.3. Read the chart for clear, simple maintenance directions.
Antifreeze concentrations greater than 60% and coolant conditioner concentrations greater than 6% can be harmful to cooling systems and engines. This 8T5296 Coolant Conditioner Test Kit provides positive proof that concentrations are in a proper or safe range.
