PCE-DRW 1 is a handheld digital refractometer used to determine the sugar content / specific gravity of beer and similar liquids in the 0 ... 50 % Brix / 1.000 ... 1.130 d 20⁄20 measuring range. This waterproof IP65-rated digital refractometer features automatic temperature compensation (ATC) from +10 ... +40 °C / +50 ... +104 °F, as well as a large, easy-to-read LCD that shows both the measured value and the temperature.
