FAQ:

Q: How to take a Brix reading using a refractometer?

A: Salinity Measures sodium chloride solutions Brix Measures percent sucrose. … Coolant Freezing Point Determines the effectiveness of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol coolants Clinical: Measures Serum albumen and urine-specific gravity (e.g. …

Q: How to use and read a refractometer?

A: Keep the prism free of fingerprints. Use a soft eyeglass cloth to keep it clean. … Rinse off saltwater with RO water. Any residual salt will cause inaccurate readings the next time you use the refractometer. Dropping or rough treatment can damage the internal ATC system or misalign the optics. … Calibration once a month will ensure accurate readings.

Q: How to use a refractometer, Brix and beer brewing?

A: See our stand alone Refractometer Calculator. Inside a brew session,the brew log entry screen fully supports refractometer input,including wort correction factor and alcohol correction (if applicable). The wort correction factor is a profile option,and the default is 1.0 (no correction).

Q: What are refractometers used for?

A: What is a Refractometer? A refractometer is a simple instrument used for measuring concentrations of aqueous solutions. It requires only a few drops of liquid, and is used throughout the food, agricultural, chemical, and manufacturing industries.
