Measurement Unit (Measure Unit)

The measurement units of the Refracto are grouped according to their field of
application:
- nD, nDt: General applications
- Sugar: Sugar determinations
- Conc.: General concentration determinations
- Alcohol: Alcohol (Ethanol)
- IPA: Isopropanol
- Salinity: Salt (sodium chloride)
- Wine: Determination of the sugar content in grape juice
- Antifreeze: Antifreeze
nD (refractive index)
Measurement of the refractive index (n
nDt (temperature-compensated refractive index)
Refractive index (n
All results are calculated for the same reference temperature ( T
regardless of the measuring temperature ( T ). Measuring and reference tempera-
ture have to be in the same unit (°C or °F).
Compensated refractive index = measured refractive index + α
10 temperature-compensation coefficients can be stored in the instrument.
The following input is required:
Comp. No.
Comp. Temp.
α x 1000:
For calculation of α, see page 9.
Sugar (sugar determinations)
Display of the results as Brix% (sucrose), HFCS42 or HFCS55 (high fructose
corn syrup). See appendix.
Conc. (concentration determinations)
Measurement of the concentration via the input of the desired concentration-
conversion formula y = a + bx at a reference temperature.
y = Concentration in % or without units
a, b = sample dependent coefficients.
x = measured refractive index
Input of the temperature-compensation coefficient see nDt.
