The Ebulliometer provides the classical method of alcohol determination in wine and cider.

Alcohol content measurement based on a measurement of the comparative boiling point of water and the alcoholic product
Accurate readings to within 0.1% alcohol for products of 0-17% alcohol
Consists of a highly polished chromed housing with boiler, chimney and thermometer mounting, a spirit burner (methylated spirit required), a digital thermometer, a calculation disc, a graduated test tube & a box of wicks
Packed in a metal carrying case

NB Distilled water (not supplied) is required to calibrate the ebulliometer

NB Should you need to in future, you can order a replacement thermometer for this Ebulliometer - please see the Spares category in Catalogue and Refine by 'Type'.

NB Other products for determinining probable alcohol are available, including a simple Refractometer (see Eclipse Alcohol Determination Refractomer - part code 94222) and the Digital OPTi Refractometer - part code 94294

Please see the Test Equipment category in Catalogue for our full range of test equipment.

Application

Not recommended for products with an ABV higher than 17% (accuracy ±0,1% Vol for products of 0-17% alcohol; lower accuracy for products between 17 and 21%)
Not suitable for products with a high sugar content, e..g., sweet wines, liquors or products with added syrups - the sugar content will be too high and will taint the readings

Process:

NB Before first use the 'readings' disc (supplied) must be calibrated with a product of known ABV. Prior to each use calibration using distilled water (not supplied) is recommended.

Pour product into the chamber
Light oil lamp
When the product has reached boiling point, read the temperature on the thermometer
On the disc supplied, read the ABV on outer disc which corresponds to the boiling point on the inner disc - this will give you the ABV
