Product catalog summary
Overview of Digital Refractometers
Hanna digital refractometers are designed to measure the refractive index, influenced by temperature and light wavelength. Key features include automatic temperature compensation, simple measurement procedures, and a battery error prevention system (BEPS) for accurate readings in harsh conditions.
Refractive Index and Measurement
The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a substance. Digital refractometers use an LED to pass light through a prism, determining the critical angle where light is no longer refracted. This measurement is temperature-compensated and converted to the desired parameter.
Features of Hanna Digital Refractometers
  • Automatic Temperature Compensation for accurate measurements.
  • Simple operation with a small sample size requirement.
  • IP65 water protection for durability.
  • Single-point calibration using distilled or deionized water.
  • Stainless steel sample well for easy cleaning and corrosion resistance.
Wine and Sugar Analysis Instruments
Hanna offers digital refractometers for wine and sugar analysis, measuring refractive index to determine sugar content. They convert readings to parameters like % Brix, °Baumé, °Oechsle, and °KMW for wine, and % Brix or specific sugar concentrations for food products. These instruments are portable, water-resistant, and provide quick, accurate results.
Specifications and Calibration
Each refractometer model has specific ranges, resolutions, and accuracies. They feature automatic temperature compensation, quick measurement times, and require minimal sample volumes. Calibration is straightforward, using distilled or deionized water.
Conclusion
Hanna digital refractometers offer reliable and efficient refractive index measurement for the wine and food industries, with robust design and precise measurements suitable for laboratory and field applications.
Additional Overview
The document also covers refractometers for measuring sodium chloride, seawater salinity, and ethylene glycol concentrations, highlighting their accuracy, portability, and ease of use.

  • HI96821 - Sodium Chloride Measurement: Measures NaCl concentration with features like ATC, dual-level LCD, and IP65 water protection.
  • HI96822 - Seawater Salinity Analysis: Measures salinity in PSU, ppt, and Specific Gravity, suitable for aquaculture and environmental monitoring.
  • HI96831 - Ethylene Glycol Analysis: Measures % volume and freezing point with ATC and a range of 0 to 100% volume.
Calibration and Operation
  • Calibration with distilled or deionized water.
  • Measurement involves placing a sample on the prism and pressing the READ key.
  • Units of measurement can be cycled using the RANGE key.
Applications
  • Food Industry: Sodium chloride content analysis.
  • Seawater Analysis: Salinity monitoring in seawater environments.
  • Ethylene Glycol Analysis: Concentration and freezing point determination for automotive and industrial applications.
Additional Specifications
Refractometers for ethylene and propylene glycol solutions have a measurement range of 0 to 100% volume and a freezing point range from 0 to -50°C. They feature a dual-level LCD, ATC, and quick measurement time, designed with IP65 water protection and durable casing.

Hanna Digital Refractometers-2

Digital Refractometers Refractive Index is an optical characteristic of a substance and the dissolved particles in it. The refractive index of a substance is strongly influenced by temperature and the wavelength of light used to measure it. Therefore, care must be taken to control or compensate for temperature differences and wavelength. The refractive index measurements are usually reported at a reference temperature of 20°C (68°F), which is considered to be room temperature. Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a substance. A result...

In addition to % Brix, HI96814 includes two other scales used in the wine industry: °Oechsle and °KMW. °Oechsle (°Oe) is mainly used in the German, Swiss and Luxenbourgish winemaking industry to measure the sugar content of must. The °Oe scale is based on specific gravity at 20°C (S.G.(20/20)) and is the first 3 digits following the decimal point. One °Oe is roughly equal to 0.2 % Brix. °Oe = [(S.G.(20/20)) - 1] x 1000 °Klosterneuburger Mostwaage (°KMW) is used in Austria to measure the sugar content of must. °KMW is related to °Oe by the following equation: °Oe = °KMW x [(0.022 x °KMW) + 4.54] 1...
