What is a refractometer used for
Refractometer measures the solution concentration by measuring the refractive index of each solution. It can be used to measure drugs, spices, glass, plastics and other items. Refractometer enables quality control of fruit, coffee and other products with brix measurement. Liquid food such as soy sauce contains sugar, salt, and other ingredients. The brix reading is proportional to the dissolved solids content in these solutions. In this way, their concentration can be measured. Refractometer is a helpful instrument to measure the food and beverage industry. It has a wide range of applications. Besides, refractometers also play an important role in chemical industries. Refractometers can determine the concentrations of oil-based aqueous solutions and heavy chemical products.
