Brix Measurement by Density or Sound Velocity

Description

BRIX MONITOR is a variant of RHOTEC or SONATEC and allows measuring sugar content in liquids that don’t contain any alcohol, e. g. in syrups and soft drinks. The instrument uses the functionality of either RHOTEC (density measurement) or SONATEC (sound velocity measurement) and is designed for applications requiring maximum sensitivity and highest accuracy. It is easy to operate and maintenance-free. The density measurement is based on the oscillating U-tube principle. For sound velocity measurement a sound pulse is created by a sonic transmitter and detected by a sonic receiver. As a specific property of each liquid, the correlation between concentration and density resp. sound velocity can be described by a mathematical polynomial. With decades of experience the polynomials for a large number of products are now known. Any temperature drifts of the measured signal are automatically compensated for.
