Refractometer
Please choose the categories:
Hand Held Refractometer
The Hand Held Refractometers are specially designed for measuring the concentration of many kinds of solution listed as following: Juices、Beverages、Honey、 Salt water、Brine、Cleaning fluid、battery fluid、Antifreeze and Industrial fluids etc. And they can also test for the proportion of the water-soluble solution. They can be easily used and they are competitive in price. You only need to drop some water on the prism and then make it towards to the sunlight. Then the reading of the concentration will appear. And ATC means automatic temperature compensation.

II.Operation Manual
Step 1.
Open daylight plate, and place 2~3 drops of distilled water or standard solution on the prism. Close the daylight plate so the water spreads across the entire surface of the prism without air bubbles or dry spots. Allow the sample on the prism for approximately 30 seconds before going to step 2. (THIS ALLOW THE SAMPLE TO ADJUST TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF THE REFRACTOMETER.) |
 |
Step 2.
Hold daylight plate in the direction of a light source and look into the eyepiece. You will see a circular field with graduations down the center (you may have to focus the eyepiece to clearly see the graduations). The upper portion of the field should be blue, while the lower portion should be white. (The pictures showed here and showed here and showed in step 3 and step 4 are only as reference. The right specific scale is listed in the product.) |
 |
Step 3.
Using distilled water or standard solution as a sample, look into the eyepiece and turn the calibration screw until the boundary between the upper blue field and the lower white field meet exactly on the zero scale, such as showed in the picture. That is the end of calibration. Make sure ambient temperature is comets for the solution you are using (20℃ for our solution that is 68℉). When working temperature of the environment (not the sample) changes by more than 5℉, we recommend recalibrating to maintain accuracy and reproducibility.
If the instrument is equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation system, the ambient working temperature of the room must be 20℃(68℉) whenever the instrument is recalibrated. Once calibrated, shifts in ambient temperature within the acceptable range (10℃~30℃) should not effect accuracy. |
 |
Step 4.
Do step 1. Using the specimen of liquids which will be measured as the substitution of distilled water or standard solution. Then do step 2. And step 3.. When do step 3 again, you can take the reading where the boundary line of blue and white cross the graduated scale. The will provide a direct reading of the Brix concentretion. |

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Refractive index is one of most important optical parameter. Gloss of gem can be estimated by the parameter.
The kinds of gem can be precisely determined in accordance with the measured value of refractive index because every kind of gem has its inherent refractive. Besides, index of double refraction can be also measured. Though the parameter you can judge whether a gem is uniaxial or biaxial photopositive or photonegative.
The gemological refractometer is characterized by small volume and less weight. It is easy to carry. It is a popular instrument used in jewelary market.
PARAMETERS OF THE INSTRUMENT
Measuring rang: 1.30~1.81
Minimum graduation value: 0.01
Size: 30*70*130mm
Weight: 400g
METHOD OF OPERATION
1. Lay the instrument on the worktable. Open the upper cover(1). Drops of special refractive oil onto the surface of prism(5) by a thin glass bar.
2. Make the ground surface of gem to be measured close up to the prism(5), depress it lightly, make refractive oil distributed evenly between the two surface. Then close the upper cover.
3. Align the entrance filter(3) of refractometer and light source, make luminance of viewing field even.
4. Move eyepiece(4) up and down. Adjust diopter approximately. Now you can see a light/dark boundary in viewing field. The graduation on which the boundary, located is the refractive index of gem as shown in right Figure.
5. The index of double refractometer of gem can be measured precisely because the filter(3) of the refractometer can eliminate the phenomenon of dispersion.
Measuring methods
Remove the polarizer(6). Turn it onto eyepiece(4). Then turn the polarzer(6) lightly. You can only read the refractive index value in one direction at a time because the polarizer only allow the light vibrated in one direction to pass through. Then turn the polarizer(6) thought 90°, you can measure the refractive index value of the light vibrated at right angles to that mentioned above. Turn the gem in the same direction through small degree then turn the polarizer(6) lightly according to above method, you can read the two refractive index values of the light vibrated at right angles to each other. Operate continuously until the gem is at 180°position to its initial position. From a number of groups of measured refractive index values you can find a group with the difference of maximum refractive index value you can find a group with the different of maximum refractive index and minimum refractive index. The difference is the value of index of double refraction of gem.
6. After measurement, clean away the refractive oil on the prism(4) then put the prism(4) into the box of instrument for protection.
ATTENTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
1. The instrument is composed of precise components. You should not dismantle it by yourself. After usage, the instrument should be stored in dry place, in order to protect the instrument from moisture and mildewing which can affect the precision of the instrument.
2. The refractive oil should be stored and sealed. While using it, you should use a thin glass bar to dip into it, don’t bring oil into touch with the hand or eye.
3. The intensity of light source should be approximate. It should be suitable to bright and even viewing field and clear observation.

All optical components and other main structures except the prism and the eyepieces are fitted up in the housing (17). Upon the housing is fixed the prism group, which consists of the incident prism, the refracting prism and the prism mount. These two prisms are respectivly fixed in the prism mount using a special glue. The mount for incident prism (5) and the mount for refracting prism (11) are conneced with the axiles (2). The incident prism can be opened and closed. The two incident prism mounts should be closed by means of the knob (10) in such a way that a homogeneous space can be kept between the surfaces of the two prisms, and the space is to be filled with the test lipuid. (3) is the shield. (18) is the thermostat connector (four in all). (4) is the thermometer. (13) is the socket for thermometer which can be connected with a plastic hose. (1) is the reflecting mirror. (8) is the eyepiece. (9) is the covering plates. (15) is the knob for adjusting the graduation of refractive index. (6) is the knob for adjusting dispersion. (7) is the scale knob for dispersion value. (12) is the condenser for illuminating the graduated circle.
Usage and operation
I).Preparations:
1.Before measuring, one must calibrate the reading with a standard specimen and the polished surface of refracting prism should be dropped with one or two drops of naphthalene bromide, then the polished surface of the standard specimen can be put on. Observe if the bright and dark boundary line in the telecople unit lies or not in between the cross - lines, and if not adjust the screw shown of fig 7, so that the image of the boundary line moves into the center of the crosslines. Reduce the initial error of the indicating value to the minimum through repetitive observations and calibrations. including the operator's aiming error. After such a correction, do not allow to remove any doubt about the determined refractive index during routine testing work, noe can use the above - mentioned methods for correction. 2, Before measuring and doing the calculation, the rough surface of the refracting prism and the a kind of liquid mixed by 1:1 absolute alcohol and ether to prevent from dirt wihich is sure to affect image sharpness and measuring accuracy.
II). Testing work:
1. To test transparent and translucent liquid:
Drop the tested liquid onto the surface of the prism with a dropping tube then cover the incident prism with a dropping tube then cover the incident prism and lock with the knob (10), with the demand that the liquid layer should be homogeneous, spreaded full of the field of the field of view, bubble less. Open the shield (3) and close the reflecting mirror (1), then adjust the ocular dipoter so that the cross - line image sharply, then turn the knob (15) to look for the position of the bright and dark boundary line in the ocular field of view, then turn the fine-focus the knob (15) so as to make the boundary line lie in the center of the eross - lines, and eventually turn the condenser 912) properly. At this moment the value indicated below the ocular field of view is right the refracive index of the liquid under test.
2. To test transparent solids:
The object to be tested needs a smooth polished surface. Open the incident prism and add one or two drops of naphthalene bromide onto the smooth plane of refracting prism, them clean the polished surface of the tested object so that it can contact better, when the work looking for the boundary line in the eyepiece can be conducted. The procedure for aiming and reading accords with the above - mentioned.
3.To test translucent solid:
One surface of the translucent solid should be a polished plane, upon which naphthalene bromide should be dropped, then stick it on the refracitng prism, Open the reflecting mirror (1) and adjust the angle, and use it as a surface of incidence for measuring, the method for operation being the same as the above - mentioned.
4.To test the sugar concentration of sugary liquid:
The operation is similar with testing the refractive index of liquid, its reading can be taken from the indicated value of the field of view, The readout taken then is right the percentage of the sugary liquid concentration.
5.To determine mean dispersion value:
Similar with determining the refractive index. What is needed is to turn the knob (6) until the color disappears in relation to the bright and dark boundary line in the field of view, when the indicated value Z in the scale knob for dispersion graduation(7) and its refractive index nD should be taken down. According to nD,find the corresponding value of A and B from the dispersion table. If nD lies in between two figures, it can be found by interpolation. Then find the corresponding value f O' from the dispersion table according to the value Z. When Z>30, tke negative sigh; when Z>30, take positive sigh. The mean dispersion value can be given by substituting the found A,B and O' into the dispersion equation (The example is shown in the latter part of this mauls).
6.When refractive indices are required to measure at various temperatures, inasrt the thermometer into its socket (13) and connect it, which is to be adjusted to the temperature required, and the measurement can be conducted after the temperature is stabilized for the mimutes. |

Operation Steps:
|
Step1.
Open daylight plate, and place 2-3 drops of sandard solution on the prism. Put the standard gass on the sample and let the solution spreads aross the entire surface of the prism and the undrside of the standard glass without air bubbles or dy spots. Allow the sample on the prism for appximately 30 seconds before going to step2.
(THIS ALLOW THE SAMPLE TO ADJUST TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF THE REFRACTOMETER.)
|
 |
|
Step 2.
Hold daylitht plate in the direction of a light source and look into the eyepiece. You will see a circular field with graduations down the center ( you may have to focus the eyepiece to clearly see the graduations ). The upper portion of the field should be blue, while the lower portion should be white. ( The pictures showed here and showed in step 3 and step 4 are only as reference. The right specific scale is listed in the roduct.)
|
 |
|
Step 3.
Look into the eyepiece and turn the calibration screw until the boundary between the upper blue field and the lower white field meet exactly on the standard scale. Please see the standard datas as list on the right.(The instrument has been calibrated, if the instrument is with ATC, we recommend to delete the calibration.)
|
 |
|
Step 4.
Do step 1. Using the specimen of liquids which will be measured as the substitution of standard solution. Then do step 2. And step 3.. When do step 3 again, you can take the reading where the boundary line of blue and white cross the graduated scale. They will provide a direct reading of the Brix concentretion.
