Key Features of Atago Ethyl Alcohol Digital Refractometers:

1. Precise Alcohol Measurement:

   • These refractometers are specifically calibrated to measure ethyl alcohol (ethanol) content in liquids, providing highly accurate readings of alcohol concentration.
   • They are commonly used in industries like distilling, winemaking, and beer brewing to monitor and control the alcohol content at different stages of production.
     
     

2. Wide Measurement Range:

   • The Atago Ethyl Alcohol refractometers typically have a broad measurement range that covers various levels of alcohol content, usually from 0 to 100% alcohol (or varying ranges depending on the model).
   • This wide range makes them versatile enough for testing everything from lower alcohol content in beverages to high-proof spirits.
     
     

3. High Accuracy and Fast Results:

   • These digital refractometers provide high accuracy, often with a resolution of up to 0.1% alcohol concentration.
   • Results are delivered quickly, typically within a few seconds, allowing for real-time monitoring and decision-making during the production process.
     
     

4. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC):

   • ATC ensures that temperature fluctuations do not affect the accuracy of alcohol measurements, as alcohol content can be influenced by temperature. This feature makes the refractometer reliable in various environmental conditions, providing consistent results without the need for manual adjustments.
     
     

5. Ease of Use:

   • These refractometers are user-friendly, typically featuring simple digital displays for easy reading of alcohol content.
   • Portable and compact, they allow for on-site testing at various stages of production, such as during fermentation, distillation, or bottling.
   • Minimal sample volume is required—usually just a few drops of liquid—making them efficient for quick and frequent testing.
     
     

6. Multiple Measurement Scales (Optional):

   • Many models in this category offer not only ethyl alcohol measurement but also the ability to measure other parameters such as Brix (sugar content) or refractive index, providing additional value for monitoring the overall composition of the liquid.
     
     

7. Durability and Maintenance:

   • Atago refractometers are built with durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use in production environments. They are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring long-term performance.
     
     

Applications of Atago Ethyl Alcohol Digital Refractometers:

1. Distilleries:

   • Used to measure the alcohol by volume (ABV) in spirits such as whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin. Accurate alcohol content measurement is crucial to ensure the product meets quality and regulatory standards.
   • Helps monitor the distillation process to ensure that alcohol concentration stays within the desired range.
     
     

2. Wine Production:

   • After fermentation, winemakers can use the Atago refractometer to determine the alcohol content of the wine, ensuring it meets the desired specifications for various wine styles.
   • It can also help verify that fermentation has been completed and the alcohol content is in line with the winemaker's goals.
     
     

3. Beer Brewing:

   • Brewers can use these refractometers to measure alcohol content at different stages of beer production, from wort fermentation to the final product.
   • It ensures the final product adheres to the correct alcohol content specified by the brewery and regulatory guidelines.
     
     

4. Quality Control and Compliance:

   • In many industries, alcohol content is subject to strict regulatory standards. Atago refractometers help ensure that products are compliant with legal requirements for alcohol content, avoiding fines or product recalls.
     
     

5. Cocktail and Beverage Production:

   • In bars, restaurants, or large-scale beverage production facilities, these refractometers are used to verify the alcohol content of pre-mixed or bottled beverages to ensure consistency and quality in every batch.
     
     

How It Works:

The Atago Ethyl Alcohol Digital Refractometer operates on the principle of measuring the refractive index of the liquid sample. The refractive index of a liquid changes in relation to its alcohol concentration. By shining light through the liquid and measuring the angle at which light is bent (refracted), the refractometer can calculate the alcohol content with high precision.

Steps for Using the Atago Ethyl Alcohol Digital Refractometer:

1. Calibration:

   • Calibrate the refractometer using a standard reference solution, usually distilled water or a calibration solution specific to alcohol measurements.
     
     

2. Sample Placement:

   • Place a few drops of the liquid sample onto the prism of the refractometer.
     
     

3. Measurement:

   • The device automatically measures the refractive index and calculates the alcohol concentration. The result is displayed on the digital screen.
     
     

4. Result Display:

   • The alcohol content (in percentage) will be displayed, providing immediate feedback to the user.
     
     

Benefits of Using Atago Ethyl Alcohol Refractometers:

• Accurate Alcohol Measurement: Ensures that your product meets regulatory standards and quality specifications.
• Portability: Compact design makes it ideal for on-site testing at various stages of production.
• Time Efficiency: Fast results allow producers to make quick decisions during production and fermentation.
• Non-Destructive: These refractometers require only a small sample of liquid, preserving the product for further use.
• Versatility: Models can measure multiple parameters (alcohol, Brix, specific gravity), making them useful in different stages of production.
