The HI96821 portable refractometer converts the refractive index of a food sample to g/100 g, g/100 mL, specific gravity and °Baume. These conversions are based on internationally recognized references for unit conversion. The HI96821 is ideal for the analysis of salad dressings, cheeses, condiments, canned and jarred foods, soups, brines and whey. The HI96821 is an easy to use tool for measuring sodium chloride in foods, whether on the production line or in the lab.
- Designed for sodium chloride analysis in foods
- Automatic Temperature Compensation
- High accuracy measurements in g/100 g, g/100 mL, specific gravity and °Baume
Making a Standard NaCl Solution (g/100 g)
To make an NaCl Solution, follow the procedure below:
- Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance.
- Tare the balance.
- Weigh out X grams of high purity dried Sodium Chloride (CAS #: 7647-14-5: MW 58.44) directly into a beaker
- Add distilled or deionized water to the beaker so the total weight of the solution is 100g.
Example 10g/100 g NaCl:
| NaCl (g) | Water (g) | Total (g) |
| 10.000 | 90.000 | 100.000 |
