Honey Refractometer RH-5890Be | 58-90% Brix | Moisture & Baume | ATC

This handheld honey refractometer reads Brix, Baume and water content from a single drop of sample, covering 58-90% Brix, 38-43' Baume and 12-27% water, with automatic temperature compensation. It is a purely optical instrument, so it needs no battery: you place a few drops on the prism, look into the eyepiece and read the scale where the light and dark fields meet. Features and benefits: - 3-in-1 scale: Brix, Baume and water content shown on one eyepiece scale, so you get three readings from one look - Range of 58-90% Brix, 38-43' Baume and 12-27% water - suited to thick, high-sugar liquids such as honey, maple syrup and molasses - Minimum division of 0.5% Brix, 1' Baume and 1% water, with a stated accuracy of the same size - Automatic temperature compensation - no need to bring the sample to an exact temperature; the maker says to use it at room temperature between 0 and 30 degrees - Focus adjustment on the eyepiece and a zero-setting screw for adjusting the reading against a reference solution - Rubber grip and a compact 145 x 40 x 40mm body, weighing 0.1kg, so it fits a pocket or tool bag - Supplied in a blue plastic carrying case with a dropper, screwdriver, user manual and cleaning cloth Applications: - Checking the water content of honey before jarring or sale - Judging sugar concentration of maple syrup and molasses - Beekeeping and small food production benches - Teaching optical refraction and sugar measurement in schools and workshops In the box: - 1 x refractometer - 1 x dropper pipette - 1 x screwdriver for the adjustment screw - 1 x user manual - 1 x cleaning cloth - 1 x blue plastic carrying case Note: This is a manual optical instrument, not a digital meter. Set the reading with a suitable reference solution before use, as set out in the user manual, and wipe the prism clean straight after each measurement. The maker advises against leaving corrosive liquids on the prism for long periods.
