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: Basic measurements for Brix and refractive index
The following models are particularly suitable for basic measurement where the result is
required in Brix or refractive index. They are used to determine the sugar content in food
or for monitoring processes in the industry (coolant monitoring, water-based mixtures).
Alternatively the display can be switched to show Brix or the refractive index.
The main scope of applications is:
Industry: Monitoring of lubricants in machines and quality control
Food industry: Beverages, fruits and sweets
Agriculture: Determination of the degree of ripeness of fruit for quality control in harvesting
Restaurants and large-scale catering establishment
