Description of πŸ”¬ Enhanced Precision with Ade Advanced Optics Handheld Refractometer RHW 25 Brix 40ATC

Double scale: 0-40 percent brix scale + 0-25 percent potential alcohol scale (not finished alcohol! alcohol skews any refractometer!). Accuracy: +/- 0.5 percent al & +/- 0.20 percent brix. * divisions: 0.5 percent al & 0.20 percent brix. The choice for Winemakers/Beer makers. Features ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation) for accurate readings. Sturdy design, made of Aluminum Included are: a pipette for dropping test fluids onto the prism, a mini screwdriver for scale calibration, and a Users Guide. This unit can also measure other products as well! The 0-40% Brix Range lends itself to many other uses too!.

Easy to read for refractometers

I bought this instrument at the end of the season. Since it's primarily intended to test the brix of the ripe grapes, I'll have to wait until next September to see if it ticks all the boxes. Everything indicates that this will be the case.

Pros
  • Sturdy aluminum construction Includes: Pipette for applying control liquids to the prism, mini screwdriver for dial calibration and instruction manual
Cons
  • Quick instructions

Nothing for professionals, but ok for home use.

Doesn't hold calibration very well. With every use and even with several measurements on the same day, it has to be recalibrated. Focuses well. The scale is clear and easy to read. The alcohol scale is slightly different. Brix x 0.55 is the correct estimate of alcohol content. This device reads about 10% lower.

Pros
  • Dual scale: Brix scale 0-40% + potential alcohol scale 0-25% (Alcohol isn't done yet! Alcohol will distort any refractometer!)
Cons
  • Something else

It simply works best for testing, measuring and checking

Easy to use, works as expected, reasonable accuracy, requires no batteries and is inexpensive. This type of Brix refractometer can cost anywhere from $20 to $$$, but if they are calibrated to 0% and 10% (water and coke) I don't see a problem with cheap ones. Buy three: one to wear, one as a spare, one for a friend.

Pros
  • This instrument can also measure other products! The 0-40% Brix range is also suitable for many other applications!
Cons
  • No power
