REF-113ATC, Hand Refractometer, 0-32% Brix/ATC

Designed to measure sugar content. Just a few sample drops are enough to
determine the percentage of dissolved solid, according to the principle for
which the refraction index of a solid dissolved is
proportionate to its concentration. This is a simple and accurate
method, extremely useful for controlling the quality of fruit, jam,
vegetables, tomatoes, beet sugar, canned foods, etc., in the
field or in the factory. This new revolutionary instrument allows
to measure without problems due to temp. changes,
eliminating the inconvenient of temperature compensation. until
now indispensable for refractometric measuring operations.

Uses:
Projection Abbe Refractometer is a kind of instrument which can be used to
determine the refractive index nd and the mean dispersion nF - nC for the
transparent or semitransparent liquid or solid (mainly used to determine the
transparent liquid).
With the help of thermostat, this instrument may be used to
determine the refractive index nd for the substance within the
temp. range from OC to 50C The refractive index & the
mean dispersion are important optical constants; with
which the optical property of purity, concentration &
dispersion power, etc. can be determined for a
certain substance. Therefore, this
instrument has been used widely; it is an
indispensable common one used in the
