Budget Handheld Refractometer

The Budget Handheld Refractometer from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies provides beekeepers with a practical way to measure the sugar content of honey. A refractometer is a useful piece of equipment when checking honey during extraction and preparation because it provides information about the liquid being tested without requiring complicated laboratory equipment.

For beekeepers who harvest and bottle their own honey, measuring honey characteristics can be an important part of the processing routine. This handheld refractometer is designed to provide a simple testing method and includes the basic accessories needed for calibration and operation.

What It Measures

The Budget Handheld Refractometer is designed to measure the sugar content of honey. Refractometers work by using light refraction through a liquid to provide a reading.

Checking honey with a refractometer can help a beekeeper understand the condition of the honey before it is stored or bottled. This makes it particularly useful as part of a honey-processing setup.

Calibration

The refractometer can be calibrated by placing distilled water on the cover plate. This provides a straightforward method for preparing the instrument before taking measurements.

The product includes a small screwdriver for adjusting the calibration, allowing the beekeeper to make the required adjustment rather than needing to purchase a separate calibration tool.

Correct calibration is an important part of obtaining useful readings, so the instrument should be calibrated according to the supplied operating instructions.

Included with the product:
