This portable and rugged device is specifically designed for sugar (% Brix) measurement and potential alcohol measurement (% V/V) of wine, juice, and must. This refractometer features an impressive high accuracy of ±0.2% Brix and 0.2% V/V potential alcohol. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time.

The HI96813 refractometer is equipped with a sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well, making it incredibly easy to clean. Simply wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample. It can handle sample sizes as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl) with its stainless steel well that has a high-grade optical prism made of flint glass. It even has a fast 1.5 second response time for temperature-compensated readings.

This refractometer has a sugar content range of 0 to 50% Brix and 0 to 25% V/V potential alcohol. It has a sugar content resolution of 0.1% Brix and 0.1% V/V potential alcohol and a sugar content accuracy of ±0.2% Brix and ±0.2 %V/V potential alcohol. It has a temperature range of 0.0 to 80.0°C (32.0 to 176.0°F) with a temperature resolution of 0.1°C (0.1°F) and a temperature accuracy of ±0.3°C (±0.5°F). It has an automatic shut-off feature after three minutes of non-use and is powered by a 9V battery that can last for approximately 5000 readings.

This refractometer is also incredibly durable and comes with an enclosure rating of IP65. It has dimensions of 192 x 102 x 67 mm (7.6 x 4.01 x 2.6 in) and weighs 420 g (14.8 oz.).
