Application areas for refractometers

Application area: Industry / Automotive

Refractometers are particularly suitable for the measurement and determination of AdBlue, glycol concentrations (ethylene, propylene), battery fluid, urea, and freezing point measurement of windshield washer fluid as well as refractive index. Furthermore, these models are suitable for measuring temperature exchange systems.

Main application areas:

• Automotive industry
• Chemical industry
• Solar industry (antifreeze monitoring)
• Geothermal energy (brine concentration measurement for geothermal heat)
• Forestry
• Auto repair shops

Application area: Sugar and honey

The following models are especially suitable for measuring the Brix value. These serve for sugar content determination in food, especially in fruits, vegetables, juice, and sugary beverages. These refractometers are also ideal for monitoring processes in industry (coolant monitoring, water-based mixtures). Alternatively, the refractive index can also be displayed.

Main application areas:

• Industry: process and quality control, lubricant monitoring
• Food industry: beverages, fruits, sweets
• Determination of fruit ripeness for quality control at harvest
• Restaurants and large kitchens
• Beekeeping
• Honey production
  
  

Application area: Salt

The refractometer is also particularly well suited for measuring the NaCl (salt) content in water. This is commonly used in the production and cooking of sauces, brines for baked goods, the production of brines (e.g., brine cheese), marinades for meat, and the preparation of seafood. Alternatively, the refractive index can also be displayed.

Main application areas:

• Food industry
• Restaurants and large kitchens

Application area: Wine

Refractometers are particularly suited for measuring sugar content in fruit. This is used to determine the expected alcohol content from the fruit. Additionally, the ripeness of fruit (fruit sugar), e.g., grapes, can be determined.

Main application areas:

• Agriculture: viticulture and fruit growing
• Wine production
• Must and alcohol production

Application area: Urine

Refractometers are particularly suitable for measuring the specific gravity (density) of urine, serum content (serum protein in urine), and refractive index.

Main application areas:

• Hospitals
• Medical practices
• Medical training facilities
• Nursing and care homes
• Sports medicine (doping control)
