Description
The ATC Wine Refractometers YR05931 // YR05936 are premium metal devices designed to provide fast and accurate measurements of alcohol and Brix content in liquids. These refractometers come equipped with advanced dual-scale functionality, displaying direct readings of both alcohol and Brix percentages. A key feature is their Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), ensuring precise readings by automatically adjusting for temperature variations. Designed with durability in mind, these refractometers are built from pure aluminum, offering a vivid and sharp reticle chart for easy reading and application in various environments.
Market Price
When looking for reliable wine refractometers, potential buyers will find a range of prices in the market. The average price for high-quality refractometers similar to the ATC models typically falls between $70 and $220 USD, depending on various features and specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the ATC function benefit me? The ATC function ensures more accurate readings by compensating for temperature differences, which can affect the refractive index.
- Do these refractometers require a power source? No, these devices utilize ambient light, eliminating the need for batteries or external power sources.
- What is the main material used in these refractometers? They are constructed of pure aluminum, providing durability and longevity.
Advantages and Disadvantages
One of the standout advantages of the ATC Wine Refractometers is their high accuracy and quick readings. The dual-scale makes them versatile for different measurements. The key disadvantage could be that users must ensure the instrument’s clarity and calibration, which requires some maintenance knowledge.
Product Usage in the Field
Ideal for both amateur and professional wine makers, these refractometers allow users to measure alcohol and sugar content accurately in their wine batches. By placing a small amount of liquid on the refractometer prism, users can easily obtain readings without complex equipment, making them an essential tool in winemaking and quality control processes.
Recommendations
To ensure long-lasting performance, it is recommended to clean the prism carefully after each use with a soft cloth. Regular calibration using distilled water will maintain the accuracy necessary for precise measurements. For detailed comparisons, users can input their measurements into tracking systems to observe trends over time.
