This optical instrument employs the measurement of the refractive index to determine sodium chloride concentration in aqueous solutions used in food preparation. It is not intended for seawater salinity measurements.
The HI-96821 Salt Refractometer is portable, lightweight and easy to use as well as being precise and accurate. What's more it offers all the benefits of a digital meter at the cost of little more than a mechanical model.
Designed for use in the food industry, the HI-96821 is ideal for drop sampling and for testing the salt content of solutions used in food preparation.
Ideal for the analysis of:
Salad dressings
Cheeses
Condiments
Pickles
Canned foods
Jarred foods
Milk
Juices
Energy drinks
Soups
Brines
Whey
Using the measurement of the refractive index to determine salt content, readings are quick and simple.
Samples are measured after simple user calibration with distilled or deionised water. Within seconds the refractive index of the solution is measured with speed and precision.
Key features
Large dual level LCD displays measurement and temperature simultaneously
Sample well is designed for easy measurement - simply place a few drops of the sample in the well and press the READ key
White waterproof casing with stainless steel well is easy to keep clean
Large clear buttons make this meter easy to use in laboratory and test conditions
