2. Refractive Index and Brix

The In-line Refractometer CM-BASEα is a refractometer that detects the Refractive Index of

a sample and outputs the Brix(%) value on the display.

(1) What is refractometer?

When a straw is placed into a glass filled with water, the straw appears to bend. When a

straw is placed into a glass filled with sugar water, the straw appears to bend much more

sharply than in the case of water alone. This phenomenon is known as the refraction of

light. The refractometer is an instrument that measures the Refractive Index by utilizing

this principle (the Refractive Index increases in proportion to the concentration of the

solution), and was developed by Dr. Ernst Abbe at the end of the 19th century.

(2) What is the Refractive Index?

If the Refractive Index of air under atmospheric

pressure is 1, then when light enters medium x, the

ratio of the sine of the incident angle <alpha>

measured against the phase boundary to the sine of

the refracting angle <beta> is called the Refractive

Index of the medium x.

The Refractive Index varies with the wavelength of

light and temperature and is represented as follows:

For example, Refractive Index of water at 20˚C under the D-line is:

= 1.33299 (Generally expressed as nD = 1.33299.)

m The Refractive Index is based upon the supposition that the Refractive Index in a

vacuum is 1 and is called the absolute Refractive Index. Generally, however, this index

is seldom used.

(3) Brix(%) scale

The CM-BASEα is programmed with the Brix(%) scale, based on the Refractive Index of

water (nD = 1.33299) as the reference (0%). The Brix(%) scale represents the weight of

sucrose expressed by percentage (sucrose weight in grams contained in 100 grams of

sucrose solution). Therefore, this scale corresponds with the sucrose concentration. For

samples such as water-soluble cutting oil, it is possible to create a conversion table in

advance to show the relation between the sample’s concentration % and Brix %, and

convert the Brix measurement value into its concentration. However, it is very common to

create a concentration standard using Brix values, and monitor with Brix values in

everyday operations.

C The relationship between Brix(%) and the Refractive Index (nD) is outlined on

page 24.

(4) Temperature correction

The Refractive Index of a substance varies with temperature. Thus, when using a refractometer

to measure the Refractive Index of a liquid, the measurement value will vary with the sample

temperature.

The CM-BASEα always detects the prism temperature. The value of the measurement is

automatically corrected for temperature by a built-in processor, so that the displayed value is

equal to the value measured at 20˚C (provided that the sample temperature is within the range of

10 to 50˚C).

n: Represents the Refractive Index

t: Temperature (˚C)

D: D-line of natrium (589nm)



WARNING

◇Do not supply power (DC24V) until cable connection has been

established.

①The CM-BASEα should be supplied with DC24V (allowable fluctuation is ±10%).

②The CM-BASEα should be installed in a location with an ambient temperature of 5 to

40 ˚C.

③Because the CM-BASEα incorporates highly precise components, DO NOT install in

locations exposed to direct sunlight or near a heating source, or in an environment

that is dusty or exposed to corrosive gasses.

④The CM-BASEα should be installed in a location that is free from vibration. When

installing, take special care to avoid any strong shock to the instrument.

⑤Do not touch the prism surface with your hand. Finger-prints left on the prism surface

may cause sample to build up on the prism.

In the event of contact with the prism surface, clean carefully with a soft tissue soaked

with ethyl alcohol.

In order to prevent scratches, never clean the prism surface using abrasive materials.
