Designed with ultimate simplicity in mind, RFM700 refractometers offer digital automatic technology at low cost. In 2007, new derivatives replace earlier models and feature more scale and temperature compensation options, enabling the instrument to be used not only in the traditional food, sugar, and beverage applications but also some industrial applications.
The new models are particularly suited to wine applications, as industry standard scales such as Baume, Oechsle, and Probable Alcohol (A.P.) can easily be downloaded from this Internet site. As well as wines scales, a new ‘Fuel System Icing Inhibitor’ scale that conforms to ASTM D 5006 can be loaded as well as refractive index (RI).
Physical benefits of the RFM700 include a flat ‘easy clean’ sapphire prism and a ‘no-presser design’ offers rapid cleaning once a measurement has been taken. A programmable measurement delay is also offered.
