Honey Refractometer for Honey Moisture, Brix and Baume, 3-in-1 Uses, 58-90% Brix Scale Range Honey Moisture Tester, with ATC, Ideal for Honey, Maple Syrup, and Molasses, Bee Keeping Supplies The refractometer series are based on the principle that the refractive indices of liquids change when the concentration changes. It's portable, easy, quick, and requires no battery. It is easier and more accurate than traditional hydrometers and more afable than digital meters. It's a perfect tool for adults or young users, for home or professional use. It features high-quality optics with smooth focusing. The main body is made of aluminum alloy. The internal optical lens with high refractive index forms the precision optical system. The instrument is resistant to abrasion and corrosion and can be used to measure generally corrosive liquids. However, prolonged exposure to corrosive liquids is not recommended. Residue should be cleaned immediately after measurement. 3-in-1 Uses Honey 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 helps determine the ideal time for honey harvest or maple syrup production. The 3-in-1 scale design allows you to read three indexes at once: honey moisture, Brix, and Baume. Measuring Range: - Water Content (Moisture): 12-27% - Brix: 58-90% - Baume: 38-43 Division: - 0.5% for Water Content - 0.5% for Brix - 0.25 for Baume Durable & Safe Material This honey refractometer is constructed with non-staining, non-corrosive, and non-reactive chromium material, ensuring hygiene and safety for all users. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) The built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation feature allows for consistently accurate readings. There is no need to precisely control the liquid temperature—just ensure the sample is at room temperature (between 0-30°C). Portable Compact Package The refractometer comes with a dropper, screwdriver, user manual, and cleaning cloth, all stored in a hard compact case. Item dimensions: 8" x 3" x 2". Weight: 8.6 ounces. Its compact design makes it highly portable and easy to carry. How to Use the Refractometer Using the refractometer is simple and involves two steps: calibration and measurement. Calibration: Place a few drops of calibration solution on the prism. Use the screwdriver to adjust the calibration screw until the reading matches the reference value. (The user manual provides details on the proper calibration solution and index.) Measurement: Place a few drops of the sample liquid on the prism and look through the eyepiece. Read the measurement directly from the scale.
