Automatic temperature compensation
The refractometer provides an automatic temperature compensation for the whole Brix
scale in the temperature range of 10–40 °C. This is permanently active. The
automatic temperature compensation corrects the measurement value in line with the
reference temperature of 20 °C.
This means that regardless of the temperature at which a sample is measured
between 10–40 °C, the device displays the Brix value of the measured sample
for 20 °C.
The following sample illustrates this:
A sucrose solution with a value of 40 %Brix at 20 °C would have a value of
39,2 %Brix at 30 °C. If the sample is measured at 30 °C, the automatic temperature
compensation corrects the measured value and the refractometer displays 40 %Brix.
The automatic temperature compensation is not used for the refractive index scale.
