Environmental Refractometers

GAO Tek’s environmental refractometers are handheld devices used to measure the refractive index of a liquid sample, typically in the context of environmental analysis. The refractive index is a property that describes how light propagates through a substance, and it can provide valuable information about the composition or concentration of dissolved solids or compounds in the liquid. These refractometers work by measuring the degree to which light bends or refracts when passing through a liquid sample. By comparing this bending to known reference values, the refractometer can provide a quantitative measurement of the sample’s refractive index, which is then correlated to the desired parameter or property.

GAO’s environmental refractometers are composed of prism/sample well, light source, optical system, detector, refractive index scale, temperature compensation, casing/controls, and power source.

The other common names of refractometers are refractive index meters, refraction analyzers, refractometry devices, refraction measurement instruments, refractive index sensors, brix meters (commonly used for sugar concentration), salinity refractometers (specific to saltwater), fluid concentration analyzers, optical refractometers, solids content detectors, solution concentration meters, analytical refractometers, liquid density meters, optical concentration analyzers, concentration measurement instruments, optical density detectors, liquid quality analyzers, substance purity meters, dissolved solids sensors, optical property analyzers , optical concentration meters, solution density analyzers, fluid refractive index detectors, liquid property meters, solution quality analyzers, fluid composition sensors, dissolved material meters, optical solution testers, refraction measurement devices, concentration analysis instruments, substance purity detectors, optical liquid analyzers, solution content meters, liquid solute detectors, optical substance testers, fluid concentration analyzers, solution refractive index meters, optical solute meters, liquid composition detectors, and substance concentration analyzers.
