Description
Calibration block ORA-A1008 is a dedicated calibration accessory for jewellery refractometers, specified for use with model ORA 1GG. The solid reference block supports reliable instrument checks in jewellery appraisal and related laboratory environments where refractive-index verification is required before sample work. Supplied as a single piece, the compact format sits easily beside portable or bench jewellery refractometers during daily set-up. This calibration block from manufacturer Kern helps maintain measurement consistency when operators verify instrument response on the matched ORA 1GG model. Net weight is 0,10 kg and gross weight 0,20 kg, so the unit is light enough for field kits as well as fixed laboratory stations. Clear ORA-A1008 designation supports inventory control and correct pairing of accessories with the intended instrument. Workshops and laboratories can integrate the block into standard start-up and quality routines for the ORA 1GG jewellery refractometer. Keep the reference surface clean and handle it with care to preserve suitability for repeated calibration cycles.

Questions about Calibration block ORA-A1008
What is this article?
Calibration block ORA-A1008 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kern for laboratory use. It sits in Refractometers & polarimeters, inside Spectroscopy & photometry, in Lab instruments.
A refractometer reads the refractive index of a liquid, often expressed as Brix for sugar. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light. Both depend on temperature. A handheld refractometer and a thermostated benchtop instrument are different accuracies.
A photometer or spectrophotometer sends light through a sample and reads how much was absorbed. In the range where the Beer–Lambert relation holds, absorbance tracks concentration. A refractometer reads how a liquid bends light, which tracks dissolved solids. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light, the classical measurement for sugars. The lamp, the wavelength and the cuvette path length are the three things that have to be right before the number means anything. The optical quantities trace to NIST and the BIPM.
Which category should I open next?
