I am trying to calibrate a few refractometers and I need some help in using
the refractive index of honey to figure out the percentage of humidity that
the refractometer must show at different temperatures.
I tried using the refractive index table, but this seems of no use to me,
since all numbers are fixed at 20:C.
I remember that for each 7:C above the calibration temperature of the
refractometer you should substract 1% humidity from whatever percentage the
refractometer is showing.
I will thank any help on calibrating refractometers.
Note: I have some 20:C and some 25:C calibrated refractometers.
