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 more affordable than digital meters. It is a practical tool for both amateur and professional use. 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 measurement. 3-in-1 Uses This refractometer is a portable, precision optical instrument designed to check 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 allows simultaneous reading of honey moisture, Brix, and Baume values. Measuring range: - Water Content (Moisture): 12–27% - Brix: 58–90% - Baume: 38–43 Division: 0.5% for Water and Brix, 0.25 for Baume Durable & Safe Material The honey refractometer is constructed with non-staining, non-corrosive, and non-reactive chromium material, ensuring hygiene and safety for all users. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) The built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation ensures consistently accurate readings. There is no need to precisely control the liquid temperature—simply ensure the sample is at room temperature (between 0–30°C). Portable Compact Package The refractometer comes with a dropper, screwdriver, user manual, and cleaning cloth, all stored in a hard compact case. Dimensions: 8 x 3 x 2 inches. Weight: 8.6 ounces. Its compact size makes it highly portable and easy 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. Look through the eyepiece and use the screwdriver to adjust the calibration screw until the reading matches the known value of the solution. Refer to the user manual for details on the appropriate calibration solution and reference index. Measurement: Place a few drops of the sample liquid on the prism. Look through the eyepiece to obtain the reading. The scale is clearly visible and easy to interpret.
