Description
Handheld Digital Brix Refractometer
Waterproof IP65-rated refractive index (nD) brix refractometer with easy-to-read LCD
PCE-DRB 1 is a handheld brix refractometer used to determine the sugar content / refractive index of liquid in the 0 … 90 % Brix / 1.3330 … 1.5177 nD measuring range. This waterproof IP65-rated brix refractometer features automatic temperature compensation (ATC) from +10 … +40 °C / +50 … +104 °F, as well as a large, easy-to-read LCD that shows both the measured value and the temperature.
Brix refractometer is used for determining the sugar content in liquid solutions such as beverages, wine, or juices. It provides a quick measurement of sucrose (% by weight) in a certain liquid. It can be used in laboratories, enterprises, or households for accurate measurement of sugar levels in homemade drinks and syrups. The brix value indicates the quality of the final product.
Brix refractometer operates by providing information about the amount of solids (sucrose) dissolved and indicates the level of juice or drink concentration. It helps to maintain the correct balance between sugar and acid in products containing a certain amount of acids, ensuring that the taste characteristics match customer demand. It is also used in the production of wine for strict monitoring and control at all stages. The fermentation process can also be controlled easily with the help of the brix refractometer. It helps to test the final product and determine the dry matter as well as the concentration of alcohol. Professional winemakers can even determine the eventual concentration of alcohol in future wine based on the measurements from their brix refractometer and the grape type. The calculation can be carried out accurately using the generally accepted conversion scale.
Brix level provides important information about the material and the final product. The brix refractometer is equipped with temperature compensation function, water/corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, and user calibration on demand. it helps to keep the production process under control and allows final testing before serving or passing the product to the customer.
