HI96816

Description

The HI96816 is a rugged, portable digital refractometer designed for potential alcohol measurement (% V/V) of wine, juice and must according to the European Economic Community Commission Regulation No 2676/90. The HI96816 features simple two-button operation and has a high accuracy of 0.2% V/V potential alcohol. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean. Just wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample.

• Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings
• Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)
• Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass

The HI96816 Digital Wine Refractometer has a potential alcohol curve is based on the tables found in the European Economic Community Commission Regulation No 2676/90 of 17 September 1990, Determining Community Methods for the Analysis of Wine and International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV). The potential alcohol curve is based on the following equation:

Potential alcohol %V/V = g/L of Sugar / 16.83

• 4.9 to 56.8 %V/V range with a ±0.2 % V/V accuracy
• Automatic Temperature Compensation
• Designed for determining potential alcohol in wine juice and must

Features at-a-glance :

Automatic Shut off
• To conserve battery life the meter shuts off automatically after three minutes of non-use

Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Samples automatically compensated for temperature variations

Battery indicators
• Battery percent level remaining at startup and low battery indicator.

Dual-level LCD
• The dual-level LCD displays measurement and temperature readings simultaneously.

IP65 water resistant protection
• Water resistant ABS plastic casing designed to perform under laboratory and field conditions.

One-point Calibration
• Calibrate with distilled or deionized water.

Quick, accurate results
• Readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds.

Small sample size
• Sample size can be as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)

Stainless steel sample well
• Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant.
