New Palm Abbe Digital Wine Refractometer Measure Brix, Baume, Oechsle, KMW, and the Actual Sugar Content (grams/Liter) of grape juice and grape must. The VINO1 Digital Wine Refractometer is equally at home in the vinyard or winery. This handheld instrument will display a total of five different international wine units of measure, including: Brix concentration, Baume, Oechsle, KMW, and the Actual Sugar Content (grams/Liter) of grape juice and grape must. Measurements are made with precision comparable to mid-range bench-top refractometers costing thousands of dollars more. This refractometer was designed specifically for the international wine industry and professional viticulturists. It represents one of the most complete compilation of international wine scales ever assembled in a single refractometer. Prompts and displays can be set to read in English, Spanish, French, German, or Russian. This is an indispensable tool that the vineyard manager or professional winemaker simply can’t afford to be without. Protection against inaccurate readings due to temperature differences, a major concern in refractive index measurement, is assured with nonlinear temperature compensation specific to grape juices. Temperature compensation is automatic for fluids read between 0 and 50 °C (+32 to 122 °F). | The stainless-steel sample well requires only a couple of drops of fluid to take measurements. A simple, user-friendly interface consists of two buttons: one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options. A large, dual-line, multilingual LCD display is easily read, even in dim light. The digital refractometer removes the subjectivity associated with analog refractometers that require users to interpret where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. Calibration of the Palm Abbe is automatic and does not require special calibration solutions or tools; they automatically calibrate themselves to water. Other digital wine refractometers are available with scales for various international units of measure including Baume, Brix, Oechsle, KMV, Babo, specific gravity, estimated alcohol content, alcoholic strength, Alcohol by Volume, etc. Users have the flexibility to mix and match up to five different scales on the Palm Abbe PA203X, giving them the ability to create truly custom wine-testing instruments. |
