The KERN ORM series models are precise, universal, and maintenance-free digital hand refractometers. They are characterized by their ease of use and robustness. Their compact design makes them suitable for convenient and quick everyday use. The large and clearly readable display with an integrated temperature indicator assists the user in accurately determining the measurement value. The built-in automatic temperature compensation (ATC) allows for simple and fast operation, as no manual conversion of the measurement result is necessary. A quick and user-friendly calibration of the refractometer can be performed at any time using commercially available distilled water. The KERN ORM series refractometers are protected against dust and splashes according to the international protection class IP65. You can rinse the refractometer under running water after use. Average measurements are possible. The package includes: prism cover, pipette, storage box, 1 × AAA battery, and operating instructions. This model is particularly suitable for measuring the water content in honey according to the standards of the International Honey Commission (IHC2002) and Baume degrees (°Bé) for determining the relative density of liquids. Optionally, Brix or the refractive index can also be displayed. Main application areas: beekeeping, honey production.
