Accurate sucrose measurement is critical for quality control across food, beverage, and agricultural industries. The VEE GEE 6601 Series Brix Hydrometers are precision-calibrated instruments designed to determine the percentage of sucrose by weight. Manufactured from durable borosilicate glass, select models in this series feature convenient built-in thermometers, eliminating the need for a secondary temperature probe and streamlining your workflow during time-sensitive testing procedures. Features and Benefits Precision Calibration: Precisely calibrated so that 1° Brix equals exactly 1% sucrose by weight at the specified reference temperature. Built-in Thermometer: "TS" models include an integrated thermometer with a built-in correction scale printed opposite the temperature scale for instant, accurate conversions. SafetyBLUE Fill: Integrated thermometers utilize a mercury-free SafetyBLUE liquid fill, preventing toxic hazards in the event of accidental breakage. Borosilicate Glass: Constructed from heavy-duty borosilicate glass to resist chemical corrosion and withstand the rigors of daily laboratory use. High Visibility: Features crisp, clear scale subdivisions as fine as 0.1° on select models for highly accurate visual readings. Specifications Property Value SKU Series 6601 / 6601TS Brand VEE GEE Material Borosilicate Glass Measurement Type Brix (Sucrose %) Thermometer Fill SafetyBLUE (TS Models Only) Warranty 1 Year Laboratory Applications Determining sugar content in fruit juices, syrups, and soft drinks Monitoring the progress of fermentation in brewing and winemaking Testing agricultural crop ripeness via sap extraction Frequently Asked Questions Do all models in this series include a built-in thermometer?No, only the models with "TS" in the SKU (e.g., 6601TS-5) include the integrated thermometer. The 6601-4 is a standalone Brix hydrometer. Is the liquid inside the thermometer safe?Yes, the "TS" models utilize a SafetyBLUE liquid fill, which is entirely mercury-free and safer for food and beverage environments. How does the temperature correction scale work?Hydrometers are calibrated at a specific temperature (usually 20°C or 68°F). The built-in correction scale allows you to instantly adjust your Brix reading if your sample liquid is warmer or colder than the calibration point. Quality Assurance VEE GEE Scientific instruments are rigorously tested to ensure accurate, repeatable performance. These hydrometers are calibrated to exacting standards for reliable industrial and laboratory measurement.
