The
HI96816
Digital Wine Refractometer is rugged portable, water resistant
devices that benefit from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a
manufacturer 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
HI96816
is 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 refractometers 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.
