Nova-Tech C10 Refractometer User Manual
Model c10, Ordering information, Specifications z
The VEE GEE Model C10 Abbe Refractometer is an excellent instrument for the
Refractive Index (nD) analysis of liquids, glass, plastic, & film.
Easy to Use.
Operation consists of placing a sample on the prism; while looking
through the eyepiece, the control knob is turned until the shadowline is centered in
the crosshairs (see image below left); the reading is taken where the vertical line
crosses the scale. Calibrates with water.
Industrial Features.
Oversized, easy-to-read scale; Refractive Index (nD) & Brix
scales; primary & secondary prisms; color compensator dial; large measurement
dial; focusable eyepiece.
Prism Temperature Control.
Featuring 2 circulator nozzles for the primary prism
and 2 for the secondary prism, Model AR10 can be connected to a circulating bath to
accurately regulate prism temperature. The prism temperature is displayed on the
external glass thermometer. The effective temperature range is 0-70°.
Film Testing.
Transparent or translucent film samples can be measured with the use
of a glass standard (aids in the illumination of the sample), contact liquid (adheres the
sample to the glass standard and to the primary prism), and an external sodium light
source (sold separately).
Note:
The refractive index (nD) value of the sample must be lower than that of the contact liquid and the glass standard. The
included bromonaphthalene contact liquid has a refractive index (nD) value of 1.6300. The included glass standard has
a refractive index value (nD) of 1.5163.
Glass & Plastic Testing.
Transparent or translucent glass and plastic samples can be
measured with the use of a contact liquid (adheres the sample to the primary prism), and
an external sodium light source (sold separately).
Note:
The refractive index (nD) of the sample must be lower than that of the contact liquid. The included bromonaphthalene
contact liquid has a refractive index (nD) value of 1.6300.
