The Brix refractometer measures the concentration of an aqueous solution by assessing its refractive index. All aqueous solutions bend light, and this bending is used to determine sugar content. Key benefits - Quick concentration reading: uses refractive index to determine the sugar level of an aqueous solution. - Versatile measuring ranges: the Brix gauge offers different measuring ranges to suit various applications. - Portable and practical: compact, lightweight design with a robust build that is easy to carry and use, saving space on work surfaces. - Durable construction: made of high quality aluminum, lightweight yet sturdy for long term use and reliable field readings. Applications and practicality - Juice making: monitor sugar content during processing to achieve the desired sweetness and consistency. - Wine fermentation: track sugar levels to gauge fermentation activity and progression. - Drinks, fruit, and honey processing: useful for assessing sugar concentration at various stages of production or harvest. Product details and design - Portable design: small, lightweight, and robust, designed for on-site use without adding bulk to gear. - Durable material: aluminum construction provides a lightweight yet durable instrument that is easy to handle and transport. use scenarios - In a juice production line, quickly check the sugar concentration after pressing to determine the need for additional processing or blending. - During wine fermentation, periodically measure sugar levels to estimate fermentation progress and timing for racking or bottling. - In honey processing, assess sugar concentration to ensure product consistency and quality before packaging.
