Product Description
Brewers and beverage makers can track both sugar content and wort gravity with a single, rugged handheld instrument. Dual Brix and specific gravity scales mean there is no need to convert units or keep a separate hydrometer on hand, and the small sample size makes frequent checks during mashing and fermentation practical.
This listing is for catalog number 43004: Handheld Refractometer, SGX-1, 0 to 32% Brix / 1.000 to 1.130 SG Beer Wort, ATC. Place a few drops on the optical glass prism, close the plate and read both scales through the eyepiece against any light source. The prism is set in an all-metal housing for rapid temperature equilibrium, automatic temperature compensation covers 10 to 30°C, and a rubber grip blocks hand heat. A carrying case, transfer pipette and manual are included. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your lab stocked.
Key Features
- Two scales in one view – Read Brix and beer wort specific gravity at the same time.
- Automatic temperature compensation – Corrects readings across a 10 to 30°C working range.
- High-contrast display scale – Clear, shaded graduations support accurate readings.
- All-metal prism housing – Speeds temperature equalization between sample and prism.
- Rubber grip and non-roll stand – Limits hand heat and keeps the unit secure on the bench.
- Five-year warranty – Industrial-grade construction backed for long service.
