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 is portable, easy to use, quick to deliver results, and requires no battery. It is easier and more accurate than traditional hydrometers and simpler to operate than digital meters. It is a reliable tool suitable for both adults and young users, for home or professional applications. This refractometer features high-quality optics with smooth focusing. The main body is made of aluminum alloy. The internal optical lens with high refractive index forms a precision optical system. The instrument is resistant to abrasion and corrosion and can be used to measure generally corrosive liquids. However, prolonged exposure to such liquids is not recommended. Residue should be cleaned immediately after each measurement. 3-in-1 Uses This refractometer is a portable, precision optical instrument designed to assess the quality of honey and other high-sugar liquids such as maple syrup and molasses. It helps determine the ideal time for honey harvest or syrup production. The 3-in-1 scale design allows simultaneous reading of three measurements: 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 Constructed with non-staining, non-corrosive, and non-reactive chromium material, this honey refractometer ensures hygiene and safety during use. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) The built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation feature ensures consistently accurate readings without the need for precise temperature control. Simply ensure the sample is at room temperature (between 0°C and 30°C). Portable Compact Package The refractometer comes with a dropper, screwdriver, user manual, and cleaning cloth, all stored in a durable compact case. Item dimensions: 8 x 3 x 2 inches. Weight: 8.6 ounces. Its compact design makes it highly portable and convenient to carry. How to Use the Refractometer Using the refractometer involves two simple steps: calibration and measurement. Calibration: Place a few drops of calibration solution on the prism. Use the included screwdriver to adjust the calibration screw until the reading matches the reference value. Refer to the user manual for details on the appropriate 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.
