Full Description Specification

The glycerol is used to calibrate the photometers to 100% transmittance. A honey or maple syrup sample is then tested to determine the amount of light, at a specific wavelength, that can be transmitted relative to the glycerol standard. The % transmittance is then used to grade the appropriate product. For honey, the results are reported as pfund mm while for maple syrup % transmittance is used. The HI-93703-57 contains 4 bottles with 30 mL of glycerol in each.

Glycerol is a simple organic alcohol compound that is clear, colourless and viscous. Due to these properties it is used to calibrate a photometer to 100% transmittance which is the maximum amount of light that passes through a cuvette containing a sample and detected by a silicon photo-detector. For honey and maple, the calibration is done at a specific wavelength of light. The wavelength used is based on the appropriate method and represents a complementary colour of the sample to be tested.
