Features:
- Portable, accurate and fast
- Easy to use
Refractometers are used for the identification of substances and concentration measurement of fluids. Because the refractive index (R.I.) of a solution is proportional to the concentration it is easy to identify the substance or to measure the purity and concentrations of solutions.
The Euromex refractometers are calibrated at 20° celsius. Most refractometers are equipped with Automatic Temperature compensation (ATc). Euromex offers analog and digital hand refractometers, tabletop abbe refractometers and gemological refractometers.
Sugar concentration
Refractometers are used for a wide variety of analyses, like measuring the sugar concentration (Brix) in products like honey, fruit juices, and energy drinks. Brix indicates the weight content of sugar in a 100-gram sugar cane solution.
A few drops on the measurement prism of the refractometer are sufficient to read the refraction index of a liquid under test. The reflected light beam projects a shadow line onto a small glass reticle inside the instrument. The line and scale can be read through a magnifying eyepiece. The readings of most refractometers are Corrected with an automatic temperature compensation (ATc).
The food industry intensively uses refractometers to determine the exact Brix concentration in marmalades, fruit, fruit juices, honey, treacle, wine, and other food products. In the chemistry and oil industry, refractometers are used to measure anti-frost solutions, battery acid, and water-oil emulsions.
Only a few drops of the liquid are necessary to read the refractive index straight from the built-in scale. All refractometers are equipped with an ATc (except RF.6190) and are supplied with specific scales.
Applications Sugar
concentrations of sugar in marmalades, fruits, honey, syrups, wine and monitoring of oil emulsions.
