General description
The amount of sugar in an aqueous solution is measured in degrees Brix (symbol °Bx).One gram of sucrose in 100 grams of the solution equals one degree Brix, which measures the solution′s strength as a percentage of its weight (%w/w).
Application
- This reference material is for use as a calibration standard for refractometers which gives measurement results in degrees Brix
- The use of this standard for determining sugar content is also possible in the wine and beer, sugar, fruit juice, honey, starch, and sugar manufacturing industries
Features and Benefits
- Each product has five ampoules, and each ampoule contains an 8ml solution
- Accompanied by technical data sheet that includes information about extended measurement uncertainty calculated according to ISO 17025
- Traceable to recognized national standards, and to units of measurement recognized at the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) and Physical Technical Institute (PTB)
