The principle unit of measure the maple syrup producer is interested in is degrees Brix. Brix is a measure of the percentage of sucrose, by weight, dissolved in a sugar/water solution. p> Hydrometers have long been used in maple syrup testing; however, a refractometer is more accurate than a hydrometer, requires a smaller sample size, eliminates sources of error, is easily cleaned, and reduces the time that it takes to measure maple sap and maple syrup.
The eMaple refractometer features two scales, both with a range from 0 to 85 Brix. The first scale is a conventional Brix scale is intended for accurately measuring maple sap or maple syrup with a fluid temperature at or under 30 'C (86 'F).
The second scale is a high-temperature scale for testing syrup above 30 'C (86 'F). The MISCO eMaple Refractometer approaches hot maple syrup measurement in two ways. First, the eMaple has special electronic circuitry to prevent the display of readings before the temperature has stabilized. Second, because of the difficulty in reporting stable readings of hot maple syrup, there is a second scale based on hot syrup.
Scale 1 Fluid: Maple Syrup Temp less than 30 'C; Unit of Measure: Brix; Range: 0 to 85; Resolution: 0.1; Precision: +/-0.1
Scale 2 Fluid: Maple Syrup Temp >30 'C; Unit of Measure: Brix; Range: 0 to 85; Resolution: 1; Precision: +/-0.5
INCLUDES: MISCO Palm Abbe Refractometer, Protective Rubber Armor Jacket, Instruction Manual
