OPTi Digital Hand Held Refractometers
The use of a hand refractometer facilitates convenient and rapid measurement of concentration in a number of liquid and semi-solid samples. Food applications include the measurement of sugar in grape must and other fresh fruit, processed food, sugar solutions and beverages. Starch, honey and salt solutions may also be measured.
Hand held refractometers are also commonly used to control blend ratios of various industrial liquids. Chemical blends such as glycols, battery acid, heat exchange fluids, automotive antifreeze, aviation wing de-icing chemicals and jet fuel ice inhibitors can be controlled easily whilst measurement of industrial fluids such as coolants, quenchants and hydraulic oils are commonplace.
We offer a complete choice of hand held refractometers that provide not only the most accurate performance in it’s class but also repeatability when switching between users.
