Automatic Petroleum Refractometer w/ Touch Screen

Refractive Index is a fundamental physical property that is used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. It is a useful property for concentration measurements, purity determinations and chemical identification. Conforms to ASTM D1218, D1747, D5006, D5775, and ISO 5661 test specifications Electronic heating and cooling twin Peltier system operates from 10 to 100°C, eliminating the need for a circulating water bath Automated and precise refractive index measurements Detection of correct sample loading with warning message Monitors cleaning between samples and warns if it the instrument is not cleaned correctly Designed for samples ranging from clear to highly colored, dark and opaque Measures to the fifth decimal place refractive index or hundredths place in percent solids Multipoint calibration routines maximize accuracy Automatic detection of temperature and reading stability Full networking capability with direct data transfer into Excel, pdf, and other formats Conforms to the Specifications of: ASTM D1218, D1747, D5006, D5775 Measurement Scales: Refractive Index (RI), BRIX (% sucrose), Temperature Corrected RI, Temperature Corrected BRIX, Ten User-Programmable Scales Illumination: 589 nm light emitting diode with interference filter (estimated life: 100,000 hrs) Range: Dissolved Solids: 0 to 95% solids Refractive Index: 1.26000 to 1.72000nD (nD - Sodium D-Line Refractive Index) Readability: 0.01% Solids 0.00001nD Precision: Refractive Index Standard Oils ± 0.00002 - Typical clear aqueous samples, % Solids Temperature Compensated, as sucrose ±0.02% Calibration Fluid: refractive index standard oil, NIST traceable nominal value 1.495 RI, 67.61 BRIX Sample Types: Transparent, translucent or opaque Prism Assembly: Stainless steel, synthetic sapphire sealed with solvent-resistant epoxy Calibration: 1 point - Water only; 2 point - Water and refractive index or Brix standard Measurement Scales: Refractive Index (RI), BRIX (% sucrose), Temperature Corrected RI, Temperature Corrected BRIX, Ten User-Programmable Scales Illumination: 589 nm light emitting diode with interference filter (estimated life: 100,000 hrs) Range: Dissolved Solids: 0 to 95% solids Refractive Index: 1.26000 to 1.72000nD (nD - Sodium D-Line Refractive Index)
