The Brick Refractometer measures the refractive index of the solution in the sample and converts it to sugar concentration by weight percentage (also known as % bricks, bricks) to display results. Handheld refractometer, also known as sugar meter, concentration, brick meter, commonly used in cooking, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, education, geology, chemistry, ecology industry, and water quality testing applications. This refractometer is lightweight (100g), compact body (10.9 x 5.5 x 3.1cm), fits in many pants and shirt pockets. Ergonomic design with curved sides for one-handed operation and rounded edges for a comfortable fit in your pocket. Digital LCD displays value in 3 seconds. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) provides instant accurate calibration readings regardless of ambient temperature and the device can be calibrated with water. High temperature samples can be measured at ATC up to 99.9 degrees Celsius. External Light Interference (ELI) function will display a warning message if light is detected. Sample stage and well shape prevent spills. Body is rated for dust proof and water jet intrusion protection (IP)-65 rating. Can be washed under running water. The 3810 PAL-1 comes with a plastic protective carrying case.

Refractometer is used to measure the content of the substances in samples, provide units of measurements of substances such as bricks, salts, alcohol, detect chemical impurities and measure sample components such as industrial fluids. Refractometer measures the refractive index of a substance that is optical characteristics and the number of dissolved particles within it. Refractive index is the ratio of light speed in the subject to free space. When light passes from media to another. In general, low-density samples have a larger refractive angle than high-density samples. For instance, straws in high concentration will look more bent than they are put in a low-concentration substance. Refractometer works with natural light or external power source such as batteries and electricity. Some units utilize both types, but typically have digital or analog read displays. Some analog display refractometer can be used for both solid and liquid. Digital display refractometer is for liquid only. Refractometer types include handheld, bench top, and in-process. The handheld refractometer is elongated and telescopic or short rectangle. Analog handheld refractometer readings are obtained by looking through the monocular and looking where the boundary crosses with the memory line. Digital handheld models provide digital readout. Bench top refractometer is typically measured with higher precision than a handheld unit. Inprocess refractometer is used for continuous process monitoring and data reading, and is commonly installed in plumbing systems for continuous analysis. Refractometer is used in a wide range of applications in cooking, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, education, geology, chemistry, ecology, automotive industry, and water quality testing applications.

Glass? Plastic?** A: Hi Russell M. thank you for your patience. The outsize of t he sample holder is metal, the inner part of it is stainless steel, thank you and welcome to us. **Q: Have anyone tried covering from light when measuring to improve sensitivity or reading stability?** A: This product is measured by light refraction, so be careful not to contaminate or damage the prism in the product. - In addition, measuring in a leveled position increases reading stability. - In order to increase sensitivity and reading safety, and to reduce product stability and defect rate, a full inspection is conducted by professionals after making it in the manufacturing plant. - It also provides the inspector's personal information and product quality assurance. **Q: i purchase this product to use with honey, after i set in zero y load the honey on the chamber and it mark HHH is this ok? how should i use?** A: The Pal-1 will only measure up to 53% on the brix scale. The sugar content may be too high for the machine. For measuring honey, I would recommend the PAL-22S or the PAL-2 instead. ## Frequently Bought Together - Atago 3810 PAL-1 Digital Hand Held Pocket Refractometer, 0.0 - 53.0% Brix Measurement Range - aichose Brix Refractometer with ATC, Dual Scale - Specific Gravity & Brix, Hydrometer in Wine Making and Beer Brewing, Homebrew Kit - Digital Brix Refractometer Flagfront brix Meter Refractometer Automatic Temperature Compensation Brix Refractometer Range 0-55%，±0.1% Precision for Fruit Juice Coffee --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/736930185-atago-3810-digital-handheld-pocket-refractometer-0-0-53-0](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/736930185-atago-3810-digital-handheld-pocket-refractometer-0-0-53-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
