Hanna Instruments HI96785 Honey Color Portable Analyzer, 7-19/32" Length x 4-3/32" Width x 2-11/16" Height, 0 to 150 mm Pfund, 1 mm Pfund Resolution, LCD Display, 9V

The HI 96785 portable microprocessor analyzer measures the percent light transmittance of honey compared to analytical reagent grade glycerol. The transmittance value allows identification of the honey Pfund grade. The instrument directly displays the measurement result expressed in mm Pfund. Measurements are made using matched square optical cuvettes having a 10 mm light path. The color of honey tends to darken with age or change according to the method of conservation or production used by beekeepers, (for example: the use of old beehives, contact with metals, the temperature of conservation, exposure to light, etc.). The classes of color are expressed in millimeters (mm) on the pfund scale, compared to an analytical standard scale of reference on the graduation of glycerin. HI 96785 is supplied with sample cuvettes (5), 9V battery, light shield cap, 30 ml bottle of glycerol, instruction manual. 0 to 150 mm Pfund range. 1 mm Pfund resolution. +/-2 mm Pfund at the rate of 80mm Pfund at the rate of 25 degree C accuracy. Light source: tungsten lamps. Light detector: silicon photocells with narrow band interference filter at the rate of 420 nm and 525 nm. Power supply: 9v battery. Auto-off: after ten minutes of non-use in measurement mode; after one hour of non-use in calibration mode; with last reading reminder. Environment: 0 to 50 degree C (32 to 122 degree F); RH max 95 percent non-condensing. Measures 7-19/32" length by 4-3/32" width by 2-11/16" height. Weight: 12.7 oz. Direct measure method.
