Refractometer

Refractometer

This refractometer is a portable precision optical instrument and a convenient tool to check the quality of honey and other high sugar related liquids, such as maple syrup and molasses. It’s 3-in-1 scale design lets you know three indexes at one time: honey moisture/ brix/ baume. The measuring range: Water Content (Moisture) 12-27%, Brix 58-90%, Be’ (Baume) 38-43. Division: 0.5% Water, 0.5% Brix, 0.25 Be'(Baume).

It’s actually very easy to use a refractometer. There are two easy steps to to follow: calibration & measuring.

• Calibration: Place a few drops of calibration solution on the prism and use the screwdriver to adjust the calibration screw until the reading is proper. 
• Measuring: Place a few drops of a liquid you want to test on the prism, look into the eye piece and you will get the reading.
