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: Salt The following models are particularly suitable to determine the concentration of NaCl (salt) in water and seawater. This is often used for the preparation and for the cooking of sauces, bases for pastries, the production of brines (e.g. for white cheese) and the preparation of seafood and marinades for meat. Alternatively the display can be switched to show Brix or the refractive index. The main scope of applications is: Food industryFish FarmRestaurants and large-scale catering establishment, canteens
