Calibration fluid
Honey refractometer calibration fluid
Calibration fluid is used for possible calibration refractometer. This is a tool for checking the correct function of the refractometer. In the set contains two honeys of known water content marked A and B.
Contains:
calibration honey A
16.2% water, R1 (20 ° C) 1.4962 * 0.0005
calibration honey B
19.9% water, R1 (20 ° C) 1.4867 ± 0.0006
2 teaspoons
record chart (2x on the back of this manual)
Calibration procedure:
Apply a drop of honey A to the prism of your refractometer. Find the measured value
on the vertical axis of the attached graph and draw a horizontal line until it intersects
vertical black line A at point X. Wash and dry the prism well and do the same
with honey B and we get point Y.
We intersect the points X and Y (it is shown in green in the example).
This completes the calibration.
We will measure our honey, whose water content we want to know, again after washing and drying the prism.
We project the measured value from the vertical scale of the graph to the right to the oblique
a straight line. At the intersection vertically down, we subtract the required water content.
You have the graph ready for all other measurements, keep it well. Calibration
we repeat only when the refractometer falls to the ground and the like.
If honey starts to crystallize, all you need is it gently liquefy and you can recalibrate.
