Detailed explanation of the five steps of operating a handheld sugar meter
The handheld sugar meter is used to quickly determine the concentration or refractive index of sugar-containing solutions and other non-sugar solutions. It is widely used in sugar, food, beverage and other industrial sectors as well as in agricultural production and scientific research. Top Yunnong handheld sugar meter is suitable for measuring the concentration of various sauce (seasonings) products such as soy sauce, ketchup, etc. It is suitable for measuring the sugar content of products containing more sugar such as jam, syrup, liquid sugar, etc. It is suitable for fruit juice and refreshing It is suitable for the production line of beverages and carbonated beverages, quality management, pre-shipment inspection, etc., and is suitable for the process from planting to sales of fruits. It can be used to determine the accurate harvesting period and perform sweetness classification.
The handheld sugar meter is specially used to test the sugar content of beverages, and it is also a way to test the quality of beverages. Here is how to use the instrument. You can learn it in just 5 steps.
1. Open the cover and carefully wipe the detection prism with a soft cloth. Take a few drops of the solution to be tested, place it on the detection prism, and gently close the cover to avoid bubbles and allow the solution to spread on the surface of the prism.
2. Aim the light entrance plate of the handheld sugar meter at the light source or bright place, observe the field of view through the eyepiece, and turn the eyepiece adjustment handwheel to make the blue-white dividing line of the field of view clear. The scale value of the dividing line is the concentration of the solution.
3. Pay attention to the correction temperature. Take a few drops of distilled water, place it on the detection prism, and turn the zero adjustment screw to adjust the dividing line to the 0% position of the scale. Then wipe the detection prism and perform detection.
4. Some models of handheld sugar meters require standard solutions instead of distilled water when calibrating.
5. Another method (only suitable for measuring sugar content) is to use a temperature correction table and add (or subtract) the temperature correction value to the value read at ambient temperature to obtain an accurate value.
