Refractive Theory of Digital Refractometer


The digital refractometer is an exquisite and compact portable digital refractometer. The instrument covers a variety of testing needs in different industries such as sugar meter, salinity meter, freezing point meter, honey meter, vehicle urea detector, and medical refractometer. At the same time, it can also detect physical parameters such as the refractive index of the solution with one click.


What is the refraction theory of digital refractometer?


If you place a pencil with a glass of water, the tip will appear curved. Then if you put sugar water in a cup and try the same experiment, the tip of the pencil should appear even more curved. An example of this refractive index phenomenon.


The refractometer is put into a practical use due to the adoption of a new optical system. The solubility of the test solution is measured by converting the corresponding relationship between the refractive index of the solution and its solubility. As the density of a substance increases, its refractive index increases proportionally.


1. The refractometer uses a prism to hold a refractive index theory that has a higher refractive index than the test solution; it measures the solubility or refractive index of the test solution by conversion.


2. When the test solution is relatively dilute, the refractive index of the test solution is higher than that of the prism, so the angle of refraction is relatively large.


3. When the test solution is thicker, the refractive index of the test solution is lower than that of the prism, so the angle of refraction is relatively small.
