Kern ORA-AL Analogue Beer Alcohol Refractometers

Features

The KERN ORA refractometers are universal, maintenance-free analogue handheld
refractometers.  The handy and robust design allows the easy, efficient and sustainable use in everyday life. Manually calculated conversions and errors of the user are avoided by multiple selectable scales.

These scales are especially developed, exactly calculated and checked. They are also
characterized by their thin and clear lines.  The optical system and the prism cover are made of special material which allows a low-tolerance measuring.

All ORA models are equipped with an eyepiece for easy and smooth setting for many different diopter strengths.  The models marked with “ATC” have an automatic temperature compensation which enables accurate measurement at different ambient temperatures (10 °C/30 °C)

The following accessory-parts are included:
- Storage box
- Calibration liquid
- Calibration block (if required)
- Pipette
- Screwdriver
- Cleaning tissue

Further accessories are optionally available

Scope of application: Beer / Alcohol

The following models are particularly suitable for determining the sugar content of the original wort of beer in its unfermented state. The value can be read straightaway, without having to be converted, using the SG Wort and Degrees Plato scales. In addition, the percent by volume and percent by mass scales can be used to determine the alcohol content of clear spirits.

The main scope of applications is: 

Beer Brewers
Alcohol Production
