Specification

 Standard Optional

Refractometer PR‑43‑A models

 PR-43-AC compact model for small pipelines.

Refractive index range

 Full range, nD = 1.3200 … 1.5300 corresponds to hot water…100 Brix or % by weight. nD 1.2600 … 1.4700.

Accuracy

 Across the full range of 0-100 Brix: Refractive index nD ±0.0002 corresponds typically to ±0.1 Brix or % by weight

High accuracy version -HAC in the range of 0-30 Brix and +4 … +30 °C (+39 … +86 °F):

  • ±0.05 Brix or % by weight.
  • ±0.02 Brix or % by weight (in set-point applications).
Repeatability Across the full range of 0-100 Brix: nD ±0.00004 (corresponds typically to ±0.02 Brix or % by weight).
