- The Best Refractometer?: My experience with several popular devices
Since getting into the hobby, I've been down the rabbit hole on salinity specific gravity measuring devices I've had the Hanna HI98319 Salinity Pen, a $20 Amazon White-Label refractometer, the Milwaukee MA887 digital refractometer, a VeeGee STX-3 now the Misco Aquar-H2O digital refractometer
- Refractometers And Salinity Measurement | Reef2Reef
Refractometer Calibration Assuming that a refractometer is made correctly for the fluid it is intended to measure, the way to calibrate a refractometer is to put a liquid of known refractive index on it, and adjust the scale’s position by turning the calibration screw (Figure 3) until it reads correctly
- Which refractometer? | Reef2Reef
Vee Gee Scientific STX-3 Handheld Salinity Refractometer with ATC, Industrial-Grade, 0-100% Salinity Range, 1 000-1 070 Specific Gravity Range, 5-Year Warranty https: a co d 15uuDhd Getting pricey, but quality tester These have gotten too expensive to be relevant for hobbyists imo… hence my Sybon recommendation
- How can I calibrate my refractometer? - Homebrew Talk
Several months ago, I bought refractometer and followed the instructions to calibrate it I've even google'd about refractometers and they all said to calibrate it with drops of distilled water, then adjust the screw on top with a screwdriver, until the line is level with the zero Long
- Refractometers And Salinity Measurement | Reef2Reef
Refractometers And Salinity Measurement Salinity is one of the most important parameters measured in reef aquaria It controls not only the salt balance between an organism and its surrounding environment, but also the levels of a host of ions in seawater that aquarists neither measure nor
- HOW DO I USE THIS REFRACTOMETER!? | Reef2Reef
I have a very expensive, lab quality refractometer that I got for someone who used it for other things It has the following options for readout: BRIX% TA 1990 TA 1971 Oe (GER) Oe KMW Baume which would be best for measuring salinity and how?? I made up saltwater to manufacturer specifications
- DIY 35ppt refractometer calibration fluid with normal salt water . . .
For the refractometer only salinity matters right? or am I wrong? I was thinking really simple: 1 Callibrate refractometer with normal 35ppt reaction fluid 2 Add 1L RODI water in bottle 3 Add NaCl till my refractometer reads 35ppt 4 Use this bottle for callibrate my refractormeter back to 35ppt
- Refractometer reading is way off compared to hydrometer. What am I . . .
I use my refractometer to check for fermentation completion, knowing full well that the reading is off I do this because the sample size is very small Once the indication stops changing, I take a hydrometer sample to measure the actual FG
