Snap 41 and Snap 51 are digital alcohol hydrometers for on-site measurement of spirits with outstanding accuracy. One instrument will replace all the glass hydrometers in your distillery and ensure what is on the label is in the bottle. Snap 41/51 measures the alcohol content in all your sugar-free distilled spirits at any strength along the whole production process. Use the portable instrument directly at the container and get results within a few seconds. With cutting-edge technology in a long-life instrument, the Snap series gives your hand-crafted spirits the high-quality measurement they deserve.

Key Features
Alcohol measurement with easy procedures – no human errors
- No manual temperature correction necessary
- Get the final result: values are shown in %v/v (corrected to 20 °C and 15 °C for the Japanese market) or °Proof (corrected to 60 °F)
- Accuracy of 0.2 %v/v
- Influence of viscosity on your density result is automatically corrected
- Predefined routine to carry out calibrations with deionized water
- New adjustment routine ensures alcohol measurements accurate to 0.2 %v/v, even at low measuring temperatures and alcohol concentrations
Only one alcohol meter for distilled spirits at all strengths
- Snap 41 replaces all glass hydrometers
- Measuring range from 0 %v/v to 100 %v/v
- Usable during all stages of spirits production
Save time and effort with on-site alcohol measurements
- Sample is taken directly from the storage container with the help of the built-in pump
- Only 2 mL of sample are required, reducing sample waste to a minimum
- Measurements can simply be started via a gesture while using your other hand to note down results
- A measurement is finished within just a few seconds
- The alcohol content, compensated to the reference temperature, is shown on the color display
