Sugar Refractometer (Wine) images
This refractometer model is designed to measure the sugar content in a product.
This refractometer model requires no set-up, has a glass lens and an ATC function. It is used by professional beekeepers who make mead; in this process, beekeepers need to know the exact composition of the product. The sugar refractometer is very convenient and easy to use, helping you quickly and, most importantly, accurately determine the sugar content in the product. The instrument was originally developed for use in winemaking, but it is also well suited for determining the sugar content in honey.
Measuring sugar with a refractometer takes very little time. To take a reading, open the protective plate and apply a drop of mead or wine to the prism. When measuring the sugar content directly in honey, make sure it has a uniform consistency. If the honey contains crystallised lumps, warm it in a water bath and allow it to cool. This procedure will make the measurement process as accurate as possible. After applying the product to the prism, look through the eyepiece while pointing it towards the light. The scale visible in the light allows you to determine the sugar content in the product from 0 to 40%.
The instrument is designed to automatically compensate for the temperature of its surface and of the product being tested. For this, the product temperature must not exceed 30°C.
The kit includes a pipette for taking samples and a special case.
