1. Introduction
Brix meters are used to quickly determine the concentration or refractive index of sugar-containing solutions and other non-sugar solutions. Widely used in sugar, food, beverage and other industrial sectors as well as agricultural production and scientific research. It is suitable for the concentration measurement of various sauce (seasoning) products such as soy sauce, ketchup, etc. It is suitable for the measurement of sugar content of products with high sugar content such as jam, syrup, liquid sugar, etc. It is suitable for the production line of fruit juice, soft drinks and carbonated drinks. , quality management, pre-delivery inspection, etc. It is suitable for the process of fruit from planting to sales. It can be used to determine the accurate harvesting period for sweetness classification. In addition, the determination of the concentration of sizing in the textile industry has also gained widespread application.
2. Design principle
Refraction occurs when light enters another medium from one medium, and the ratio of the sine of the incident angle is constant. This ratio is called the refractive index. The content of soluble solids in fruit and vegetable juice is proportional to the refractive index under certain conditions (the same temperature and pressure). The commonly used instruments are hand-held refractometers, also known as sugar mirrors and hand-held saccharimeters. By measuring the soluble solid content (sugar content) of fruits and vegetables, the quality of fruits and vegetables can be understood, and the maturity of fruits can be estimated approximately. The hand-held glucometer is generally cylindrical. Put the sugar liquid to be measured into the openable slot at the back, wipe it evenly, close the lid, and then point the glucometer to the light, and you can read it from the front hole.
The Brix meter has models with different measuring ranges such as 0-10%, 0-20%, 0-32%, 0-50%, 28-62%, 58-92%, 0-80%, 0-90%, etc. For rapid determination of the concentration or refractive index of sugar-containing and other non-sugar solutions. Widely used in sugar, food, beverage and other industrial sectors as well as agricultural production and scientific research. It is suitable for the concentration measurement of various sauce (seasoning) products such as soy sauce, ketchup, etc. It is suitable for the measurement of sugar content of products with high sugar content such as jam, syrup, liquid sugar, etc. It is suitable for the production line of fruit juice, refreshing beverage and carbonated beverage. Quality management, pre-delivery inspection, etc., are suitable for sweetness grading and classification of fruits from planting to sales. In addition, the concentration determination of sizing in the textile industry is also widely used.
