Calibration fluid with calibration block for honey refractometers – 19.6% water content

Calibration liquid with calibration block for honey refractometers – 19.6% water content

Is your honey refractometer reading correctly? With this set, you can check the reading before the honey harvest or before a series of measurements. Used together with the liquid, the calibration block provides a fixed reference point. On the water content scale of your refractometer, the light-dark boundary should be at 19.6%. This allows you to detect any deviation before determining the water content of your honey.

How to check your refractometer

1. Open the cover flap and clean the measuring prism and the contact surface of the calibration block.

2. Place a small drop of calibration liquid on the contact surface. Lay the block flat on the prism with the wetted side down and without any air bubbles. Leave the cover flap open.

3. Look through the eyepiece and read the light-dark boundary on the water content scale. If the reading differs from 19.6%, adjust the instrument according to its operating instructions and check the value again.

4. Remove the block and clean both contact surfaces before applying the next honey sample.

Suitable for optical honey refractometers that can be adjusted to 19.6% water content using a calibration block. Please observe the calibration temperature specified in the instrument manual.

Scope of delivery
