Refractometry is an optical technique, primarily used to determine the concentration of a solute dissolved in liquid, by measuring the refractive index of the sample. Refractometry is also used for purity investigation of diamonds and forensic analysis of glass.
Refractometry is an optical technique, primarily used to determine the concentration of a solute dissolved in liquid, based on the refraction of light through the solution. The refractive index of a solution varies with the concentration of the solute, attributable to interactions between the transmitted light and solute molecules, as well as optical density effects. Refractive index depends on the wavelength of the incident beam and usually the incident beam has a wavelength of 589 nm, which is the Sodium ‘D’ line. The refractive index changes with temperature of the medium, with the rate of change depending on the medium. Refractometry is also used for purity investigation of diamonds and forensic analysis of glass.
The Refractometry technique involves measuring the refractive index of a test sample and comparing it with calibration standards, to obtain the solute concentration. The measurement is performed in a Refractometer.
Refractometers use the critical angle at which total internal reflection occurs, to measure the refractive index of a sample. There are four main types of fluid refractometers: traditional handheld refractometers, Abbe refractometers, digital refractometers and inline process refractometers.

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
