Anton Paar Snap 50 digital alcohol meter for micro-distilleries

Anton Paar has developed the Snap 50 digital alcohol meter for use in small distilleries. The meter checks the alcohol content of two-component mixtures made of water and ethanol over the whole relevant measuring range from 0-100% v/v. It can therefore replace glass hydrometers at small distilleries.

The sample is taken directly from the storage vessel, the influence of temperature on the result is automatically compensated and the alcohol concentration is displayed within seconds.

With a measuring accuracy of 0.1% v/v alcohol, the company says it is the most accurate digital portable alcohol meter available. With its capability to identify sample names via RFID (radio frequency identification), store more than 1000 results, and print or export these to a PC, the meter provides complete traceability of the results.
