Application areas for refractometers

Application area: Industry / Automotive

Refractometers are particularly suitable for the Measurement and determination of AdBlue, glycol concentrations (ethylene, propylene), battery fluid, urea and freezing point measurement of windshield washer fluid as well as the refractive index. Furthermore, these models are suitable for measuring temperature exchange systems.

Main areas of application:

• Automotive industry
• Chemical industry
• Solar industry (antifreeze control)
• Geothermal energy (brine concentration measurement in geothermal energy)
• Forestry
• Car repair shops

Application area: Sugar and honey

The following models are particularly suitable for measuring the Brix value. These are used for Determination of sugar content in foods, especially in fruits, vegetables, juice and sugary drinks. These refractometers are also ideally suited for the Monitoring of industrial processes (coolant monitoring, water-based mixtures). The refractive index can also be displayed optionally.

Main areas of application:

• Industry: Process and quality control, lubricant control
• Food industry: Beverages, fruit, sweets
• Determination of the ripeness of fruit for quality control during harvesting
• Restaurants and commercial kitchens
• Beekeeping
• Honey production
  
  

Application area: Salt

The refractometer is also particularly well suited for the MMeasurement of the NaCl (salt) content in water. This is frequently used in the preparation and cooking of sauces, brines for pastries, the production of brines (e.g., brine cheese), marinades for meat, and the preparation of seafood. The refractive index can also be displayed optionally.

Main areas of application:

• Food industry
• Restaurants and commercial kitchens

Application area: Wine

Refractometers are particularly suitable for measuring the sugar content in fruit. This is used to determine the expected alcohol content of the fruit. The ripeness of fruit (fructose), e.g., grapes, can also be determined.

Main areas of application:

• Agriculture: Wine and fruit growing
• Winemaking
• Must and alcohol production

Application area: Urine

Refractometers are particularly suitable for measuring the specific gravity (density) of urine, the serum content (serum protein in urine) and the refractive index.

Main areas of application:

• Hospitals
• Doctor's offices
• Medical training institutions
• Retirement and nursing homes
• Sports medicine (doping control)
