Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers YR05961 // YR05965

Manufacturer: Kalstein

Description

The Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers YR05961 // YR05965 are sophisticated tools designed for precise measurement of soluble solids, primarily sugar concentration, in various aqueous solutions like fruit juice, syrup, and puree. They are also adept at measuring the salinity of solutions including sodium chloride and seawater, while providing accurate readings of the refractive index of the sample. Featuring automatic temperature compensation (ATC) from 0 to 40°C, these devices ensure that readings are accurate regardless of temperature fluctuations. Their intuitive digital display makes the measurement process straightforward, delivering quick and easy-to-read readings for both Brix and salinity.

Market Price

The Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers are priced competitively within the market. Although the actual price is $150.48, the average market price for similar products ranges from $150 to $450 USD. This price range reflects their advanced technology and wide range of applications, making them an excellent investment for industries requiring precise measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum sample volume required?
The refractometers require a minimum sample volume of just 2 metric drops, making them efficient for testing small quantities.

Are the devices waterproof?
Yes, they have an IP65 waterproof rating, ensuring durability and reliability in various environments.

How does the automatic temperature compensation work?
ATC adjusts the refractometer’s readings to account for temperature variations, giving you accurate results between 0-40°C.

Advantages and Disadvantages

One of the key advantages of these refractometers is their automatic temperature compensation, which enhances accuracy. Their easy-to-read digital display and waterproof design are also significant benefits. However, the primary limitation could be their price range, which might be on the higher side for small-scale operations. Nevertheless, their precision and efficiency often justify the investment.

Product Usage in the Field

In practical scenarios, these refractometers are invaluable for quality control in food and beverage industries. For instance, a juice manufacturer can use them to ensure consistency in sugar content across batches. In the seafood industry, they are crucial for monitoring salinity levels in storage tanks, ensuring optimal preservation conditions.

Recommendations

To maximize the benefits of the Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers, ensure regular calibration to maintain accuracy. Keep them clean and dry after use, even though they are waterproof, to prevent any long-term damage. For further convenience, consider integrating the refractometer readings into digital logs to track trends over time.
