Honey Refractometer

Check the Brix and water content of your honey with the handheld honey  Refractometer from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Designed for honey testing, this instrument works on the principle of light refraction through liquid and provides measurements for both sugar content and water content.

Honey containing more than approximately 21% moisture is likely to ferment and spoil, making moisture measurement particularly important when assessing whether honey is suitable for storage or sale.

Measure Brix & Water Content

The Refractometer measures:

• Brix, representing sugar content
• Water content in honey

These two measurements provide useful information when checking extracted honey.

Rather than relying only on appearance, a refractometer allows you to take a reading and better understand the moisture level of the honey you are preparing to store, bottle or sell.

Adjustable Manual Focus

The unit includes an adjustable focus that can be manually controlled.

This allows you to refine the view when reading the internal scale.

A rubber eyepiece also helps make the scale easier to see and is particularly useful for people who normally wear glasses.

Lightweight Handheld Construction

The Refractometer combines aluminium and rubber finishes in a handheld format.

It is lightweight while still being designed as a substantial honey-testing instrument.

Its compact size makes it convenient to keep near your extraction or honey-processing equipment so it is available when samples need to be checked.

Calibration Accessories Included

The unit is supplied with the accessories required for routine setup, calibration and maintenance.

Included are:

• Mini screwdriver for calibration adjustment
• 1 x pipette
• Instruction manual
• Cleaning cloth
• Calibration block
• Small vial of distilled water
• Hard-cover carry case
• Operating instructions

The carry case provides a convenient way to keep the Refractometer and its smaller accessories together when they are not being used.
