Diesella Refractometer Honey (Brix/Baume/Water content) with "ATC" (58-90%/ 38-43° Bé / 12-27 %)

A refractometer is an optical measuring device used to measure the refractive index of various liquids. There are different types of refractometers, some of which are stationery and others handheld. However, they all work on the same principle of the refractive index of light. With a refractometer you can measure the sugar content of fruit and malt, the water content of honey, the ability of antifreeze to keep liquids frost-free, the density of urine or the acid content of a battery. Likewise, a refractometer can measure saline solutions in seawater and the alcohol content of clear spirits or the alcohol solution in ex. IPA alcohol in geothermal heating systems. This refractometer is designed to work with high sugar related liquids, honey, jellies, jams and syrups to help monitor and control sugar concentrations in foods and beverages. Temperature Compensation (ATC) that automatically correct temperature discrepancies during use. Body of full copper, which makes this refractometer resistant to chemical corrosion, and the service life is increased many times compared to ordinary aluminum houses. Note: Read the user manual carefully before calibration. The refractometer in question has the following specifications: • Measuring range: 58-90% Brix / 38-43 Be '/ 12-27% water • Reading: 0.5% Brix / 0.5 Be '/ 1% water • Accuracy: ± 0.5% Brix / ± 0.5 Be '/ ± 1% water • With Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) • Size: (Length x Ø dia.): 145 x Ø40 mm • Weight: 193 grams • Material: Full copper Main areas of application: • Beekeeping • Honey production • Checking the maturity of fruits • Verify product quality after harvest and / or control of concentrations during processing and packaging. • Controlling the concentration of various industrial fluids such as cutting lubricants and rinse aids.
