Operation

The instrument measures the refractive index of the sample and displays the result in parts

per thousand (

) and specific gravity (d

1. Zero Adjustment

Put distilled water on the prism; e nough to cover the entire prism. Close the cover plate

and rotate the adjusting screw so that the lig ht/dark boundary line (known as the

shadow-line) evens up with the zero line. After the zero adjustment, clean the prism wit h

soft cloth.

2. Sample Preparation and Reading

To take a reading, place a fe w drops of a sample liquid on the measurement prism.

Ensure that enough solution is added to the p rism in order to cover the entire prism.

Close the prism so that the liquid spreads across the entire surface of the prism without

air bubbles or dry spots (see diag rams below). Allow the sample to remain on the prism

for approximately 30 seconds.

While holding the instrument u nder a light

source, look through the e yepiece. The

salinity concentration is determined b y the

intersection of the bounda ry of the light

and dark fields (known as the shado w-

line) on the printed scale. The lef t side of

the scale indicates the specific gravity and

the right side p arts per thousand. If the

scale appears out of focus, the eyepiece

may be adjusted by rotating the knurled

portion. The instrument also features an

eye guard to prevent stray li ght from

entering the eyepiece and causing

reflections.

It ma y be necessary to adjust the position of the light source to maximize the contrast of

the shadow-line. Under normal conditions, optimal contrast is obtained by holding the

instrument underneath and perpendicular to a light source.

Once a reading has been taken, wipe dry with a clean cloth (do not wash or rinse) and

place the instrument in the supplied plastic case. Store the instrument in a safe, dry

environment.

Temperature is the single most important facto r influencing refractometer readings and

is one of the largest sources of measurement erro r. However, this device incorporates

automatic temperature compensation and the conc ern for temperature fluctuations in

sample liquids is alleviated. When ambient temperature varies from 68°F (20°C ),

readings are automatically adjusted to compensate for temperatu re variance between

50°F to 86°F (10 °C to 30°C).
