Honey Refractometer 58-90% Brix | 3 in 1 Moisture, Baume, Brix Scale

This handheld honey refractometer reads sugar concentration on three scales at once: 58 to 90% Brix, 38 to 43' Baume and 12 to 27% water content. It is an optical instrument with no battery, so a few drops of sample on the prism and a look through the eyepiece give the reading. It suits beekeepers, food workshops and anyone checking honey, maple syrup or molasses. Features and benefits: - 3 scales in one eyepiece view - read Brix, Baume and water content from the same drop of sample - Measuring range of 58 to 90% Brix, 38 to 43' Baume and 12 to 27% water - covers the usual span for honey and other thick sugar liquids - Smallest division of 0.5% Brix, 1' Baume and 1% water, with stated accuracy to match - fine enough to judge harvest or bottling readiness - Automatic temperature compensation, with the scale set at 20°C - less correcting by hand when the room is not at reference temperature - Diopter eyepiece with a visual adjustment handwheel - focus the scale line to suit your eyesight - Zero setting with distilled water and a datum correction screw - quick to check and reset before a session - Cover plate over the prism and a black rubber, anti-slip eyepiece sleeve - protects the optics and gives a secure grip - Plated housing for hardness, wear resistance and anti-corrosion Applications: - Checking the moisture level of honey before jarring or sale - Judging honey harvest timing for beekeepers - Testing maple syrup and molasses concentration - Food workshop and school science demonstrations of refractive index In the box: Per unit: 1 x refractometer, 1 x dropper pipette, 1 x instruction manual, 1 x mini screwdriver, 1 x cleaning cloth. A box is included on the With box option only. Note: Set the zero before use by dropping distilled water on the prism and turning the zero screw until the dividing line sits at 0%. Wipe the prism clean with a soft cloth straight after each reading, especially after corrosive liquids, which are not recommended for long-term measurement.
