PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION

The HI96813 Digital Wine Refractometer is rugged portable, water resistant
devices that benefit from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a manu‑
facturer of analytical instruments. Hanna Instruments offers five related wine
refractometers to fill the differing requirements found in the industry. All are
equally valid ways to measure the sugar content of grape or must samples
in the field or winery. The HI96813 are optical instruments that are based
on the measurement of the refractive index of a solution. The measurement
of refractive index is simple and quick and provides the vintner a standard
accepted method for sugar content analysis. Samples are measured after a
simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water. Within seconds the
instrument measures the refractive index of the grape. These digital refrac‑
tometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers
and are easily portable for measurements in the field. Temperature (in °C
or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on the large dual
level display along with icons for Low Power and other helpful message codes.
Key features include:
• Dual‑level LCD
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Easy setup and storage
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non‑use
• Single‑point calibration with distilled or deionized water
• Waterproof models offers IP65 waterproof protection
• Quick, precise results readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds
• Small sample size as small as 2 metric drops.

SPECIFICATIONS
The %Brix determination is made by measuring the refractive index of a
solution. Refractive Index is an optical characteristic of a substance and the
number of dissolved particles in it. Refractive Index is defined as the ratio of
the speed of light in empty space to the speed of light in the substance. A
result of this property is that light will “bend”, or change direction, when it
travelsthroughasubstanceofdifferentrefractiveindex.Thisiscalledrefraction.
When passing from a material with a higher to lower refractive index, there
is a critical angle at which an incoming beam of light can no longer refract,
but will instead be reflected off the interface. The critical angle can be used
to easily calculate the refractive index according to the equation:
sin (θcritical) = n2/ n1
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

HI96813 convert the refractive index of the sample to sucrose concentration
in units of percent by weight, %Brix (also referred to as °Brix). The conversion
used is based on the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for
Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis). Since the majority of sugar in grape
juice is fructose and glucose and not sucrose, the reading is sometimes
referred to as “Apparent Brix”. The HI96813 allows the user to tailor the
instrument to their specific needs based on their experience, since no fixed
conversion factor is universally applicable. The first conversion is based on
the %Brix value and an adjustable conversion factor between 0.50 and 0.70
(0.55 is a common value).
Potential alcohol (%V/V) = (0.50 to 0.70) x %Brix
One drawback of the above equation is that it does not take into account the
nonfermentable sugars and extract.
A second equation was also added that takes these factors into account and
can give a more accurate estimate of the alcohol content in the finished wine.
This conversion is named “C1” on the meter, and uses the following equation:
Potential Alcohol (%V/V) = 0.059 x [(2.66 x °Oe) ‑ 30] (C1)

index of the higher‑density medium.
In the HI96813, light from an LED passes through a prism in contact with
the sample. An image sensor determines the critical angle at which the light
is no longer refracted through the sample.

• Handle instrument carefully. Do not drop.
• Do not immerse instrument under water.
• Do not spray water to any part of instrument except the “sample well”
located over the prism.
• The instrument is intended to measure Wine and Grape products. Do not
expose instrument or prism to solvents that will damage it. This includes
most organic solvents and extremely hot or cold solutions.
• Particulate matter in a sample may scratch the prism. Absorb sample
with a soft tissue and rinse sample well with deionized or distilled water
between samples.
• Use plastic pipettes to transfer all solutions. Do not use metallic tools
such as needles, spoons or tweezers as these will scratch the prism.
• To reduce the effects of evaporation or absorption of water when taking
readings over a period of time, the prism and sample well can be covered
with plastic wrap.
