Refractometer Uses in Industry and Selection

Refractometer Uses in Industry and Selection By Angelo DePalma, PHD A refractometer characterizes fluids based on their refractive index –the refraction occurs due to the change in the speed of light as it travels through a material of one density to one of different density. By definition a vacuum has a refractive index of 1,

Digital Refractometers – Universal Concentration Meters By Angelo DePalma, Ph.D – Partial Reprint – Originally Published April 6th, 2011, for original see Lab Manager; – Refractometers are instruments that quantify and identify chemicals and materials based on their refractive index (RI). A unique property related to the speed of light as it passes through a substance, RI (Refractive Index)
