Specialized glass instruments for determining fat content in milk and dairy products according to the Gerber method.
Principle of Operation
- Method: Samples are treated with sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol within the butyrometer.
- Reading: Fat is separated using a Gerber centrifuge and read directly from the calibrated scale in percentages.
- Quality: Constructed from borosilicate glass to withstand the heat and acids generated during the reaction.
