Snap 41 Portable Alcohol Meter for Distilled Spirits
The instrument to replace all glass hydrometers in your distillery
Snap 41 is a digital alcohol hydrometer tailored to the needs of small distilleries. It measures the alcohol content in all your sugar-free distilled spirits at any strength, from pure distilled spirits to the watered-down, ready-to-drink spirits. The portable instrument measures your samples directly at the container within a few seconds. Results are shown in %v/v or °Proof, already corrected for temperature and given in easy-to-read numbers on the large color display. With cutting-edge technology in a long-life instrument, Snap 41 gives your hand-crafted spirits the high-quality measurement they deserve.
Key Features
Alcohol measurement with easy procedures – no human errors
- No manual temperature correction necessary
- Get the final result: values are shown in %v/v (corrected to 20 °C and 15 °C for the Japanese market) or °Proof (corrected to 60 °F)
- Accuracy of 0.2 %v/v
- Influence of viscosity on your density result is automatically corrected
- Predefined routine to carry out calibrations with deionized water
- New adjustment routine ensures alcohol measurements accurate to 0.2 %v/v, even at low measuring temperatures and alcohol concentrations
Only 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
- Usable during all stages of spirits production
Save time and effort with on-site alcohol measurements
- Sample is taken directly from the storage container with the help of the built-in pump
- Only 2 mL of sample are required, reducing sample waste to a minimum
- Measurements can simply be started via a gesture while using your other hand to note down results
- A measurement is finished within just a few seconds
- The alcohol content, compensated to the reference temperature, is shown on the color display
