FAQs of Butyrometer for milk determination:
Q: How is the butyrometer used to measure fat content in milk?
A: The butyrometer is filled with a carefully prepared milk sample and reagents, then centrifuged to separate fat. The manual display allows direct reading of the fat percentage within the 0 to 10 range.
Q: What benefits does borosilicate glass offer in this butyrometer?
A: Borosilicate glass provides excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations and chemical reactions, ensuring the butyrometer delivers accurate and reliable fat measurements in diverse laboratory conditions.
Q: When should a dairy lab use this butyrometer for milk analysis?
A: This butyrometer should be used whenever precise fat content analysis is required, such as during routine quality checks, product formulation, or compliance with regulatory standards in dairy processing.
Q: Where can this butyrometer be sourced in India?
A: The butyrometer is available throughout India via dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and other service providers specializing in dairy testing equipment.
Q: What is the process for conducting a milk fat test using this butyrometer?
A: The process involves introducing a specified volume of milk and standard reagents into the butyrometer tube, followed by centrifugation. The separated fat layer is then read manually on the scale to determine the percentage.
Q: How does the temperature resistance feature aid in the usage of the butyrometer?
A: Temperature resistance ensures accurate readings despite fluctuations during sample preparation or analysis, minimizing errors due to thermal expansion or contraction, especially during centrifugation.
Q: What advantages does manual display type offer for users?
A: Manual display provides direct, easy-to-read results without requiring electronic components, facilitating straightforward operation and maintenance, suitable for a range of laboratory and field settings.
