Hanna's portable photometers feature an advanced optical system; the combination of a special tungsten lamp, a narrow band interference filter, and silicon photodetector ensure accurate photometric readings every time. The exclusive cuvette locking system ensures that the cuvette is inserted into the measurement cell in the same position every time to maintain a consistent path 10 mm path length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures at-a-glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-shut off\u003c\/strong\u003e - Automatic shut off after 10 minutes of non-use when the meter is in measurement mode.

Each photometer is designed to allow a minimal amount of time for components to cool. The cooling lamp indicator is displayed prior to a reading being taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSignificance of Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary characteristic for commercial honey classification is color. Color classes are expressed in millimeters (mm) Pfund as compared to an analytical grade glycerol standard reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural color of honey presents many tonalities: from straw yellow to amber, from dark amber to almost black with a hint of red. The color of untreated honey originates from the botanical varieties used by the bees; for this reason, its coloration allows one to commercially identify the original floral type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color of honey tends to darken with age or change according to the method of conservation or production used by beekeepers. These practices can include the use of old beehives, contact with metals, the temperature of conservation, and exposure to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HI96785 uses direct measurement to determine honey coloration ranging from 0 to 150 mm Pfund. This photometer has a tungsten lamp with a narrow band interference filter to isolate the 420 nm and 525 nm wavelength. All samples are measured in a square cuvette having a 10 mm light path and are compared to a glycerol standard. The percent light transmittance readings are directly displayed as mm Pfund. With its advanced optical system, the highly precise meter eliminates subjectivity to provide readings that are accurate and repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe table below reports the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.usda.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/Extracted_Honey_Standard%5B1%5D.pdf\"\u003eUSDA classification\u003c\/a\u003e for honey samples and the related mm Pfund values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin: 0 0 32px;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"306\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"302\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSDA Color Standards Designations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor Range Pfund Scales (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 or less\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra White\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 8 to 17 (including)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 17 to 34 (including)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra Light Amber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 34 to 50 (including)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Amber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 50 to 85 (including)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 85 to 114 (including)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Amber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 114\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHI96785\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eName\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHoney Color Portable Photometer - HI96785\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor, Honey Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 150 mm Pfund\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor, Honey Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 mm Pfund\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor, Honey Accuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±2 mm Pfund @ 80 mm Pfund\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor, Honey Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Measurement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhotometer\/Colorimeter Light Source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTungsten lamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhotometer\/Colorimeter Light Detector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilicon Photocell with narrow band interference filter @ 420 nm and 525 nm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiquid Crystal Display (LCD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Type\/Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic Shut-Off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eafter ten minutes of non-use in measurement mode; after one hour of non-use in calibration mode; with last reading reminder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F); RH max 95% non-condensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e290 g (10 oz.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192 x 102 x 67 mm (7.6 x 4 x 2.6 in.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHI96785 is supplied with five sample cuvettes, 9V battery, light shield cap, instrument quality certificate, and instruction manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eManuals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/manuals.hannainst.com\/HI96785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHoney Color Portable Photometer - HI96785\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hanna Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871457542513,"sku":"HI96785","price":44620.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/9535\/5761\/files\/HI96785_2024-1200x1200-2236b5fe-055d-4ac2-8edd-50904505aaef__10923.jpg?v=1792646944","url":"https:\/\/hannainst.in\/products\/honey-color-portable-photometer-hi96785","provider":"hanna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
