Description
Sugar hydrometer 60-90% mas (Brix) is a glass saccharimeter intended for high-range sugar determination by mass percent according to the Brix scale. The instrument spans 60 to 90% mas and is supplied without a built-in thermometer, allowing temperature to be monitored independently. It is suited to concentrated sugar solutions encountered in refining, syrup manufacture, confectionery processing and laboratory verification of high Brix samples. Delivered as one piece, the hydrometer has a net weight of 0,037 kg and the same gross weight. Originating from Germany and made by manufacturer Witeg, it forms part of the standard hydrometer range used for density-based saccharimetry. After immersion, the graduated Brix scale permits direct reading of mass-percent sugar within the stated high interval. Facilities that already control or measure sample temperature externally can deploy this unit for focused work in the upper Brix region. The sugar hydrometer offers a clear, dedicated measuring tool for laboratories and production lines requiring reliable 60–90% mas Brix readings.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Sugar areometer 60-90% mas (Brix)
What is this article?
Sugar areometer 60-90% mas (Brix) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg for laboratory use. It sits in Hydrometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Lab instruments.
A hydrometer floats in a liquid and the stem reading is the density or a related scale such as Brix. The liquid has to be at the temperature printed on the stem, or a correction is required. A chip on the stem changes the reading. One hydrometer does not cover every density.
Density is mass divided by volume. A hydrometer floats at a depth that depends on the density of the liquid. A pycnometer is a vessel of known volume that is weighed full. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. A capillary viscometer times how long a volume takes to fall through a tube. Both measurements need a stated temperature, because liquids change density and viscosity as they warm. The units trace to the BIPM and to NIST.
