What Is A Refractometer Used For?

Jul 05, 2022 Leave a message

1. Measure the refractive index. The refractive index is a physical constant of the substance, and each substance has its own characteristic refractive index. Refractometers can be used to measure pharmaceuticals, flavors and fragrances, glass, plastics and other items.


2. To measure the sugar content, the refractometer can be used to measure the Brix value of sugar-rich samples, such as juice, syrup, jam, honey, etc., the measured value is related to the sugar concentration of the measured sample, and the Brix scale actually represents the concentration of sucrose aqueous solution. The conversion value between the Brix value and the refractive index is a number using ICUMSA (Association of Methods of Sugar Analysis)...


3. Measure the concentration of food, soy sauce and other sauces, seasoning liquid and other liquid foods contain sugar, salt and other substances. The measured value of the refractometer is proportional to the content of soluble solids in these solutions, and Brix can represent the total content of soluble solids in the solution.


4. To measure the concentration of aqueous solutions, the refractometer can be used to determine the concentration of aqueous solutions such as oil-based solutions, pharmaceuticals and heavy chemical products such as engine oil, detergents, glycol, cesium chloride, sodium hydroxide and other substances. There is a proportional relationship between the Brix value of each solution and the concentration. The solution concentration can be determined by the Brix value measured by the refractometer and the established conversion table. The Brix value is the basic scale for determining the soluble solid content in the solution.
