The General Tools REF103 refractometer is ideal for measuring the sugar concentration of beverages and food, or the salinity, specific gravity (SG), refractive index (RI) or viscosity of industrial fluids. A refractometer is an instrument that measures the concentration of an aqueous solution by measuring its refractive index. All water-based solutions can make light bend. The bending of light increases at a rate proportional to the increasing solution concentration. The hand held refractometer is a precise optical instrument. Its characteristics are small, light, take only a few drops of solution to use and is very user friendly. Refractometers are used throughout the food, agriculture, chemical and manufacturing industries. Our analog and digital refractometers are among the finest optical instruments in the world. We offer a full line of refractometers that are suitable for all applications: Brix, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Protein in serum, Salinity, Baume, Specific Gravity, Industrial Fluids, Refractive Index (nD), along with many other scales which provide the user with limitless flexibility.
Features:
Measurement range: 0 to 32 Brix
Measurement resolution: 0.2 Brix
These Refractometers specifically measure Brix (°Bx) levels in liquid, or the mass ratio of dissolved sugar to
water in a liquid
Brix 0-10%: For industrial fluids and low concentration juices
Brix 0-20%: For industrial fluids and low density solutions
Brix 0-32%: For industrial fluids, fruit juice and soft drinks
