Reliable Accuracy and Fast ResultsThe Butyro Refractometer offers a high measurement accuracy of 0.0002 within the range of 1.42 1.49 refractive index units. Its manual operation provides instant results, with all readings observed through a focus-adjustable eyepiece. The temperature correction dial ensures reliable data under standard laboratory conditions, making it ideal for dairy, food, and oil testing environments.
Durable Construction and Easy MaintenanceIts all-metal construction and glass prism provide robust durability for daily laboratory use. The removable platinum sample dish facilitates easy placement of small specimen drops, while cleaning is simplejust wipe with a soft lint-free cloth. No external power is needed, enhancing both safety and convenience during operation.
FAQs of Butyro Refractometer:
Q: How is the Butyro Refractometer used to measure the refractive index of samples?
A: This refractometer measures the refractive index by placing a small drop of the sample (such as butter, ghee, or oil) onto the platinum dish. The eyepiece is adjusted for clarity, and the analog scale reading is observed immediately after sample placement for a quick result.
Q: What materials are suitable to test with this refractometer?
A: The Butyro Refractometer is specifically designed for fats, oils, butter, ghee, and substances with a refractive index between 1.42 and 1.49. It is commonly used in food, dairy, and quality assurance laboratories.
Q: When should the refractometer be calibrated?
A: It is recommended to check and calibrate the device at 20C before use to ensure measurement accuracy. Calibration at the specified temperature helps maintain consistency across various tests.
Q: Where should the Butyro Refractometer be stored and operated?
A: For optimal operation and longevity, store and use the instrument in environments with humidity between 080% and at room temperature settings. Avoid extreme temperature or humidity changes to preserve the devices precision components.
Q: What is the cleaning process for this refractometer after testing?
A: After each test, clean the prism and platinum dish with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any residue. This simple maintenance step helps maintain measurement accuracy and prevent contamination between tests.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this refractometer compared to digital models?
A: The Butyro Refractometer provides immediate, manual readings without the need for external power sources, making it highly portable and reliable. Its metallic construction enhances durability, and compliance with IS standards ensures accurate, repeatable results in laboratory settings.
