Refractometer for refractive index nD between 1.300 and 1.700 ABBE REF2 PCE Instruments

Product description:

• Refractometer model Abbe, is used to accurately measure refractive index and sugar content.
• The application area of this tool is wide:
  • In fats, oils, paints, coatings, food, chemicals, alcohol and solvents.
• It has a solid cast housing.
• It is portable and easy to use.
• High resolution and multi-purpose
• It has an integrated thermometer, so measurements can be made for a temperature range from 0 to 70 °C.
• It also has adapters for water hoses on both sides of the upper and lower prism holder.
  • It thus allows temperature control by means of external thermostats.
• Operation:
  • Three methods of measurement of a refractometer can be distinguished:
    - Transmitted light.
    - Grazing incidence.
    - Total reflection.
  • For this purpose, a measuring prism with a known refractive index is used.
  • The measurement result is most accurate at 20 °C.
• The weight is 3 kg.
• Included in delivery:
  • Abbe PCE-ABBE-REF 2 refractometer.
  • One reference block.
  • One bottle of bromonaphthalene.
  • One screwdriver.
  • Adaptable thermometer.
  • Instruction manual.
