A refractometer is a useful device for measuring alcohol concentration (%) in substances that do not contain other ingredients.
Before using the instrument, read the user manual supplied with it - and follow the instructions provided regarding focus adjustment, instrument calibration, sample testing, and cleaning of prism and plate.
Thanks to this refractometer, you will check the alcohol concentration in liquid quickly and easily. The design of the unit, employing ATC, or automatic temperature compensation, will ensure that you get accurate results.
The instrument's indications are based on examining the refractive index of light (in simplest terms - the change in the direction of refraction of light when a sample is drawn onto the prism of the refractometer).
Range of measurement of alcohol concentration: 0~80%
Accuracy: +/- 0.1%
Automatic temperature compensation (ATC): 10°C~30°C (50°F~86°F)
The set includes:
- refractometer
- pipette
- screwdriver
- casing
- cloth
- user manual
Refractometer components: transparent plate, prism, calibration screw, rubber grip, focus adjustment ring, eyepiece
Every country has its own legal regulations governing the manufacturing of ethyl alcohol, wine products, and spirits, introducing them onto the market, and regarding sanctions for non-compliance.
