HI 96814 is based on measurement of refractive index to determine the sugar content in the grape berries or in the must samples in the field or during processing of the wine. The measurement of refractive index is simple and quick and provides the manufacturer of wine a standard method for analysis of sugars. After a simple user calibration with distilled or deionized water.
the measure tool in a few seconds the refractive index of the sample. This digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainty typical with mechanical refractometers and is easily portable for measurements in the field. The large display at two levels simultaneously displays an indication of battery charge, as well as other useful messages.
