Prism wash test
Task OK Failed Notes
Observe the temperature
and optical image for slight
changes that indicate that
wash is functioning. One or
more of the following changes
should take place:
- nD value decreasing (most
apparent change)
- T value decreasing
- QF value decreasing or
increasing

5.1 Prism Wash Test
Prism wash system is essential for a fully functional refractometer. Regular testing of the
prism wash is highly recommended.
The curve should react to the wash and the temperature change slightly.
NOTE: Your transmitter may not look excatly like the image above during the wash. The
visible changes in the curve and the temperature depend on viscosity, steam pressure and
temperatures of solids and steam and also to your version of the software.
