Precautions for Brix Meter Calibration
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 concentration determination of sizing in the textile industry is also widely used.
Brix meter calibration and temperature correction:
The Brix meter needs to be calibrated to zero point before measurement. Take a few drops of distilled water, put it on the detection prism, and turn the zero adjustment screw to adjust the dividing line to the 0% position of the scale. Then clean the inspection prism and perform inspection. Some models of instruments need to be equipped with standard solution instead of distilled water when calibrating.
Another method is (only suitable for the determination of sugar content): use the temperature correction table to add (or subtract) the temperature correction value to the value read at the ambient temperature to obtain an accurate value.
