Digital Beer Refractometer - HI96841

Digital Refractometer for Brewing
The HI96841 Digital Beer Refractometer measures the refractive index of wort and converts
it to °Plato with temperature compensation. The HI96841’s IP65 water-resistant casing and
sealed sample well are built to perform under harsh conditions, making it suitable for use in
any brewery.
• 0 to 30 °Plato range with ± 0.2 °Plato
°Plato scale in Brewing
The °Plato scale is a way to quantify the concentration of sugars and dissolved solids in wort.
It is used as an indicator of the potential alcoholic strength of a beer. The HI96841 converts
the refractive index reading to °Plato based on the tables maintained by the International
Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA) and the American Society of
Brewing Chemists (ASBC).
