Features
The KERN ORM refractometers are accurate and universal maintenance free digital
handheld refractometers. They are characterized by their easy-using and robustness.
The typical and practical design is suitable for a quick and convenient everyday use. The large, easy-to-read display with integrated temperature display supports the user to
reliably determine the measurement.
The integrated automatic temperature compensation (ATC), avoids the manual conversion of the measurement. This allows a quick and efficient usage of the instrument. Rapid, user-friendly calibration of the refractometer is possible at any time using standard commercial distilled water.
The refractometers from the KERN ORM range are protected to international IP65
protection class, against dust and water splashes. After use, you can rinse the
refractometer under running water. Mean value measurements possible

Scope of application: Salt
The following models are particularly suitable to determine the concentration of NaCl (salt) in water and seawater. This is often used for the preparation and for the cooking of sauces, bases for pastries, the production of brines (e.g. for white cheese) and the preparation of seafood and marinades for meat. Alternatively the display can be switched to show Brix or the refractive index.
The main scope of applications is:
Food industry
Fish Farm
Restaurants and large-scale catering establishment, canteens
