Test Method
Refractive index is a fundamental physical property that is used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. It is a useful property for concentration measurements, purity determinations and chemical identification.

Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ASTM D1218, D1747, D5006, and D5775 test specifications

• Electronic heating and cooling twin Peltier system operates from 10 to 100°C, eliminating the need for a circulating water bath

• Automated and precise refractive index measurements

• Rugged sapphire prism

• Designed for samples ranging from clear to highly colored, dark and opaque

• Measures to the fifth decimal place refractive index or hundredths place in percent solids

• Clear graphical LCD display with on-screen instructions and full menu operation

• Multipoint calibration routines maximize accuracy
