Hanna HI96801 Digital Sugar Refractometer

A Brix instrument for aqueous sugar solutions

The HI96801 converts refractive-index measurements into a Brix reading for sugar solutions. It is intended for applications such as fruit juice, drinks and food production, rather than routine pond-water chemistry.

Its Brix scale is based on sucrose. Other dissolved substances can affect refractive index, so the instrument is not a general water-purity test or a substitute for a salinity meter.

Zeroing, sampling and temperature

Zero with distilled or deionised water as instructed, cover the sample prism with a representative liquid sample and keep the well clean between readings. Check the sample’s temperature: the compensation range is narrower than the displayed temperature range.

A Brix result should be interpreted for the actual material being measured. It does not directly report the salt concentration of pond or aquarium water.

Choosing the right measurement

If you need salt concentration rather than Brix, compare the HI98319 salinity tester and its stated application and range. Other meters in our Hanna Instruments range use different sensing methods; choose the parameter before choosing the device.
