Refractometer for potential alcohol yield Brix0-40 grape wine0-25
This optical refractometer (alcohol meter) has a scale in the range of 0 - 25 % of potential alcohol yield. The reading resolution is 1 %. It is designed for the measurement of fruit juice and its potential alcohol yield based on sugar content (second scale Brix).
| Scale / characteristic | Scale Range | Resolution |
| Potential alcohol yield | 0 to 25 % | 0.2 % |
| Glucose / sugar | 0 to 40 %Bx | 0.2 %Bx |
Example (sugar): 100 grams of 25 %Bx aqueous solution contains 25 grams of sugar. In other words, there is 25 grams of sugar and 75 grams of water in 100 grams of sugar solution.
The usual sucrose concentration of selected substances
Example: 100 grams of 25 %Bx aqueous solution contains 25 grams of sugar. In other words, there is 25 grams of sugar and 75 grams of water in 100 grams of sugar solution.

| prunes | 9 ~ 14 | condensed milk | 52 ~ 68 |
| mirabelle plum | 10 ~ 15 | vegetable oil | 57 ~ 90 |
| cherries | 10 ~ 18 | sugar syrup | 58 ~ 80 |
| gentian (Gentiana lutea) - root | 10 ~ 25 | fruit jam (jelly) | 60 ~ 70 |
Measurement
The liquid measurement is very easy. Place a few drops of the liquid on the optical part of the refractometer, cover the prism (the liquid will spread more easily over the prism), look throught the eyepiece against the light (focus, if necessary) and you will be able to read the result value on the scale.
