This Traditional Wort Brix refractometer is used for measuring density of sugar related liquids such as fruit juice, soft-drinks, wine and wort. It also helps to control the sugar concentrations in foods and beverages. Furthermore, this brix refractometer is able to check the ripeness of fruit in the field, verifying quality of product after harvesting or controlling concentrations during processing and packaging. Compared with Hydrometer, Wort refractometer requires small amount of sample with 2 or 3 drops of sample only. Furthermore, this refractometer has Automatic Temperature Compensation from 10 centigrade to 30 centigrade. Other Applications: wine or beer, use Brix readings to get wort sugars and help determine finished alcohol readings (for alcohol reading, best use in conjunction with a hydrometer). Fruits, vegetables & grasses, monitor and control sugar concentrations in foods, beverages, crops and plants, checking the ripeness of fruit in the field and verifying product quality after harvesting and/or controlling concentrations during processing and packaging to ensure product quality. Metalworking fluids, helps in maintenance of CNC coolants and water soluble drawing & stamping compounds and commonly used for controlling the concentration of various industrial fluids like cutting lubricants and flux rinsing compounds.
