Features The KERN ORM refractometers are accurate and universal maintenance free digitalhandheld refractometers. They are characterized by their easy-using and robustness. The typical and practical design is suitable for a quick and convenient everyday use. The large, easy-to-read display with integrated temperature display supports the user toreliably determine the measurement. The integrated automatic temperature compensation (ATC), avoids the manual conversion of the measurement. This allows a quick and efficient usage of the instrument. Rapid, user-friendly calibration of the refractometer is possible at any time using standard commercial distilled water. The refractometers from the KERN ORM range are protected to international IP65protection class, against dust and water splashes. After use, you can rinse therefractometer under running water. Mean value measurements possible The following accessory-parts are included: Prism cover lidPipetteStorage box1 × AAA batteryScrewdriver Digital measurement of refraction index for universal application Technical data Measurement temperature: 0 °C – 40 °COverall dimensions W×D×H 121×58×25 mmNet weight approx. 289 gPower supply: 1 × AAA (1,5 V)Lifetime of the battery: approx. 10.000 measurementsATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation)Minimum sample volume: 4 dropsAutomatic energy management (AUTO-OFF after 60 seconds)Mean value measurement (15 measurements) Scope of application: Basic measurements for Brix and refractive index The following models are particularly suitable for basic measurement where the result isrequired in Brix or refractive index. They are used to determine the sugar content in foodor for monitoring processes in the industry (coolant monitoring, water-based mixtures).Alternatively the display can be switched to show Brix or the refractive index. The main scope of applications is: Industry: Monitoring of lubricants in machines and quality controlFood industry: Beverages, fruits and sweets Agriculture: Determination of the degree of ripeness of fruit for quality control in harvesting Restaurants and large-scale catering establishment
