Snap 41 is a digital alcohol hydrometer for small distilleries. It measures the alcohol content in sugar-free distilled spirits at any strength, from pure distilled spirits to the watered-down, ready-to-drink spirits. The portable instrument will measure your samples directly at the container within a few seconds. Operation is easy for left- and right-handed users. You can navigate through the menu using capacitive keys; a measurement is simply started via a gesture of your hand.
Results are shown in %v/v or °Proof, already corrected for temperature (60 °F, 20 °C and now also 15 °C for the Japanese market) as well as for the viscosity influence, and given in easy-to-read numbers on the large color display. The screen rotates automatically so you can conveniently read results at any instrument position. A new adjustment routine ensures perfect accuracy, even at low measuring temperatures and alcohol concentrations.
Alcohol measurement – without the risk of making an error
• No manual temperature correction necessary
• Get the final result: values are shown in %v/v (corrected to 20 °C or 15 °C) or °Proof (corrected to 60 °F)
• Easy to read the results off the large bright screen
• Measurements can simply be started via a gesture while using your other hand to note down results
• Accuracy of 0.2 %v/v
• Predefined routine for you to carry out calibrations with deionized water
One alcohol meter for distilled spirits at all strengths
• Snap 41 replaces all glass hydrometers
• Measuring range from 0 %v/v to 100 %v/v
• You can use the instrument during all stages of spirits production
Save time and effort with on-site alcohol measurements
• Sample is taken directly from the storage container with help of the built-in pump
• Only 2 mL of sample are required
• A measurement is finished within a few seconds
• The alcohol content, compensated to the reference temperature, is shown on the color display
Robust design for a long working life
• Splash-proof housing
• Special rubber protection for measuring cell included, to absorb knocks during routine operation
