Re-Polishing GIA Refractometer Hemicylinders
We Can Make Your Refractometer Glass like NEW Again !
Before After
Refractometer glass can get scratched and pitted which makes it very difficult to get a good RI reading. New refractometers are very expensive. We are able to re-polish the top surface of the glass to make them like new again.
- Can mine be done? 98% of the time re-polishing is possible. The hemicylinder can usually
be re-polished twice and sometimes 3 times before needing to be replaced.
- About our Process - Because we do not remove the hemicylinder during the repolishing
process, the calibration of the unit does not change. We use a flat lap which leaves a flat surface rather than hand polishing which would leave an uneven surface.
- Mini-lab refractometers - We can also repolish the smaller mini-lab units. Because these are
more work than the Duplex II units, they cost a bit more to do. See our price schedule listed below.
- Our record - We have successfully re-polished several hundred units over the years
including many for gemology schools, including GIA.
- Price :
- Duplex II, $149 plus shipping.
- Mini-lab units, $195 plus shipping.
- Ask us about quantity rates if you need multiple units re-polished.
- The cost of shipping can vary from appx $25 to $50 or more depending on your location and whether it is a commercail or residential address.
- (The shipping cost will also be somewhat more if we ship more than one unit.)
- Shipping :
- Prep the Unit - Remove the lens and the cover from the unit prior to shipping.
- Request a Signature - It is best to request a signature on our end so that they don't leave the package by our door if we aren't here.
- Pack Well - Be sure to pack well prior to shipping. The units are fragile.
- Address - Please call 303-745-9422 for our shipping address.
- Questions? Feel free to call or Email us with any questions you may have.
