Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a Hanna product. This manual will provide you with the necessary information for the correct use of this instrument. Please read it carefully before using the meter. TABLE OF CONTENTS PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ..................... 2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION .....................
The HI 96831 refractometer is an optical device that is simple and quick to use. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with distilled or deionized water. Within seconds, the refractive index and temperature are measured and converted into one of two measurement units;...
In the HI 96831 refractometer, light from an LED passes through a prism in contact with the sample. An image sensor determines the critical angle at which the light is no longer refracted through the sample.
MEASUREMENT UNITS Freezing point is displayed as a temperature from 0.0 to -50.0 °C corresponding to 0-58 % by volume. The display blinks the freezing point when the concentration of Ethylene glycol is greater than 78 % concentration by volume. When the display shows “LO”, the freezing point is at a minimum (below -50 °C).
