The
HI96813
Digital Wine Refractometer is rugged portable, water resistant
devices that benefit from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a manu‑
facturer of analytical instruments. Hanna Instruments offers five related wine
refractometers to fill the differing requirements found in the industry. All are
equally valid ways to measure the sugar content of grape or must samples
in the field or winery. The
HI96813
are optical instruments that are based
on the measurement of the refractive index of a solution. The measurement
of refractive index is simple and quick and provides the vintner a standard
accepted method for sugar content analysis. Samples are measured after a
simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water. Within seconds the
instrument measures the refractive index of the grape. These digital refrac‑
tometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers
and are easily portable for measurements in the field. Temperature (in °C
or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on the large dual
level display along with icons for Low Power and other helpful message codes.
Key features include:
• Dual‑level LCD
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Easy setup and storage
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non‑use
• Single‑point calibration with distilled or deionized water
• Waterproof models offers IP65 waterproof protection
• Quick, precise results readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds
• Small sample size as small as 2 metric drops.
