What is a handheld sugar meter and how is it designed
The hand-held sugar meter is suitable for quickly determining 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. The hand-held sugar meter is suitable for the concentration measurement of various sauce (seasoning) products such as soy sauce, tomato sauce, and the sugar content measurement of products containing more sugar such as jam, syrup, liquid sugar, etc. It is suitable for fruit juice, refreshing drinks and carbonated drinks On the production line, quality control, pre-delivery inspection, etc., it is suitable for the process of fruit from planting to sales. It can be used to determine the exact harvest time and classify the sweetness.
The phenomenon of refraction occurs when light enters another medium from one medium, and the ratio of the sine of the incident angle is constant, and this ratio is called the refractive index.
The content of soluble solids in fruit and vegetable juice is directly proportional to the refractive index under certain conditions (same temperature and pressure), so the concentration (sugar content) of fruit and vegetable juice can be obtained by measuring the refractive index of fruit and vegetable juice. Commonly used instruments are hand-held refractometers, also known as sugar mirrors and hand-held sugar content meters. 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 roughly estimated. The hand-held sugar meter is generally cylindrical. Put the sugar solution to be tested into the openable tank at the back, wipe it evenly, close the cover, and then point the sugar meter to the light, and read it from the front hole.
The hand-held sugar meter adopts digital LCD display, which is suitable for the measurement of almost any liquid such as fruit juice, food and beverage. The hand-held sugar meter has a measuring range of 0-65%, and the result can be displayed within 3 seconds.
