Product Description
The ATC Wine Refractometers, models YR05931 to YR05936, are precision instruments meticulously designed for the accurate measurement of alcohol content in wine and other liquids. These refractometers offer a wide range of functionalities, from measuring alcohol volume (Vol) and Brix to Baume and KMW (Babo) scales. Made from pure aluminum, they promise durability and precision, essential for laboratory and field use.
The models vary slightly in their specifications. For instance, the YR05931 model specializes in measuring alcohol in a range of 0-80%v/v, while the YR05932 can measure between 0-25% Vol and 0-40% Brix. Advanced models such as YR05935 and YR05936 offer measurement ranges in °Oe and KMW, catering to various industry needs. Most models are equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), ensuring accurate readings between 10-30°C. Models without ATC require more vigilant temperature control but still offer reliable results.
