These specifications clear the component requirements for stainless steel so the inline refractometer can be used with confidence.

Applications:

	Beverages There are many varieties of drinks that come to mind when it comes to "beverages." With the exception of tea and sports drinks, on the hole, beverages contain about 10g of sugar per 100g. Sugar level, as well as concentration (Brix), can be measured with in-line refractometers. In-line meters are used to provide measurements on samples in blending equipment that mix raw materials and water, as well as a pass/fail check for products before filling.
	Coffee/Tea It is said that Japan is the largest consumer of canned coffee, but the aspect foreigners find most surprising is the high-level quality of its taste. There are an abundance of varieties, and what's more, they preserve that high-quality taste with a flavor that is on par with freshly brewed coffee. Japanese canned coffee manufacturers are in constant pursuit of that delectable flavor, and to maintain that same tastiness, inline refractometers are used at many stages in the process. Currently, all kinds of means are used to strengthen canned coffee's brand image and increase recognition, such as creating and instilling the brand with a high-end, elite quality.
	Beer Composed of raw ingredients such as malt derived from sprouted barley, hops, brewer's yeast, and water, beer is universally cherished for that distinct aroma of its hops and that cool, refreshing, fizzy feeling produced by its carbonation. Beer is divided into different categories such as top-fermenting ales and bottom-fermenting lagers, depending on the brewing method and the type of yeast. Generally speaking, the flavor of "beer" greatly differs, depending on the brewing method.
	Gelatin & Gummy Candies Imagine the sound of quivering gelatin, "wibbly wobbly, jiggly wiggly". Gelatin comes in many forms, from a confectionery made to be an easily ingested food with highly beneficial nutrients, to a stewed, jellied dish as a cuisine. Originally, it is a confectionery made from a combination of fruit juice, gelatin, and sugar. Variations are made by adding other ingredients such as fruit, spices, and acidulants. Jelly beans, gummy candies and the like are foods made from processed gelatin.
	Soy Milk & Tofu Tofu contains many necessary nutrients for us humans, while soy milk is liquid produced when soy beans are boiled and crushed. The protein in soymilk is said to be nutritious and of a high quality. In fact, the beautifying effects of the isoflavones in soy beans are famous. To produce tofu, soy beans are soaked in water for a time and then, while adding more water, the beans are grounded to make a paste (Namago). This paste is then boiled and strained, separating it into soy milk and “okara”, or bean curd. Bittern (a coagulant) is added to the soy milk which turns it into tofu and of course frying this creates fried tofu.
	Tomato Puree This physically revitalizing appeal which is recognized all over the world, is certainly attributed to their high nutritional value. Moreover, people may find tomatoes' exquisite balance of sweetness and sourness to be simply irresistible to their taste buds. Tomato purée is a concentrate made by crushing tomatoes and straining them through a sieve.It is also used as a raw ingredient for ketchup.
	Ketchup Ketchup is made by adding onion, carrot and other savory fragrant vegetable broth and flavorings such as herbs, spices, salt, sugar, and vinegar to tomato purée (tomato concentrate) and heating it to concentrate. Ketchup’s sweetness, sourness, and saltiness influence the flavor of cuisine, and its thickness can influence how well ingredients mingle together in dishes such as pasta. This is why the extent to which ketchup is boiled down is extremely important.
	Brine An overabundant intake of salt is linked to a risk of lifestyle diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease. From a different aspect, salt plays an important part in our bodies. Salt has a role in adjusting the amount of moisture of our bodies; chlorine, which is composed of salt, is the primary component of stomach acid and supports digestion, and within saliva, salt enlivens the function of digestive fluids. Such is the vital role salt plays as a necessity for life. However, still more, in terms of taste perception, insufficient salt leads to bland dishes that fall short on flavor. Salt is a crucial element in expertly drawing out the flavor of ingredients.
	Vinegar Vinegar is said to be quite good for the body. There are many kinds of vinegar such as grain vinegar made from rice, wheat, corn, and the like, and fruit vinegar made from fruits. Although vinegar is a type of liquid seasoning, it has countless beneficial effects including constipation relief, high blood pressure prevention, appetite stimulation, fatigue alleviation, and anti-microbial effects. Recently, there has been an increase in products that are easier to adopt into our lifestyle, such as drinking vinegars (shrubs).
	Wastewater/Effluent Water It goes without saying that manufacturing products will produce wastewater. In food manufacturing related industries, there are waste fluids produced when refining sugar and manufacturing beverages, as well as waste fluids from cleaning solutions. On the self-governing level and such, manufacturers independently establish safety standards for waste fluid.
	Surface Treatment Agents Surface treatment refers to a physical and chemical treatment applied to the surface of solid materials for aesthetic, ornamental, hardening, and enhanced corrosion resistance purposes. Types of treatments include cleaning, polishing, etching, and coating, but to demonstrate the maximum effectiveness of surface treatment, it must be performed with the same, standard concentration. Therefore, using in-line refractometers to check whether the concentration is as usual is immensely important.
	DMF/DMAC/DMSO Dimethylformamide (DMF) Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) Dimethylformamide (DMF) may be unfamiliar name but it is very much used in the acrylic fiber forming and as a solvent for wet spinning. It is also used as a solvent for artificial leather and urethane-based synthetic leather.
	White Mold Release Agent In the process of making products such as cast-metal objects (casting), a chemical called a "release agent" is used to aid in smoothly and easily removing the product from the mold. There are many advantages in managing the concentration of release agents. If the concentration is low, product defects can occur, such as color stains on the product, or a section of the cast-metal object may chip off. If the concentration is high, de-molding can become difficult, requiring force to remove the product from the mold, which can warp the product.
	Hydrogen Peroxide and Sodium Hydroxide In modern Japan, many aseptically packaged products are used. A sterile filling and packaging system that makes it possible to preserve food such as milk, other dairy products, dessert, soft drinks, and highly viscous, liquid foods for a long time has been established. Many kinds of containers are used in this process; paper containers, glass, bottles, cans, plastic containers, PET bottles, and others. For example, in the bottling process of beverage production, a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide is sprayed inside a paper carton to sterilize it. At this point, it is necessary to use in-line refractometers to manage the optimal concentration for sterilization.
	Resists Resists are rarely seen directly in our daily lives. Nonetheless, they are used in many familiar, common, places such as on top of electronic PCBs and semi-conductors which power electronic and electrical products, LCDs (liquid crystal), and printed materials. Resists are absolutely invaluable to items that are closely tied to our modern lives such PC and tablet monitors, and LCD TVs. This market continues to develop every day.
	Plating Solutions (Sulfuric Acid) Plating is widely used in familiar, everyday items such as in smartphones and tablets, PCs, automobiles, and accessories. Mekki is the Japanese word for plating. Although the term may seem like it originated from a foreign loanword, mekki is actually Japanese in origin. Plating has an unexpectedly long history. Overseas, it has been used since the BC era, and in Japan, it has also been used since long ago, from the Kofun period. Plating has many expansive roles such as improving appearance, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance, and for function and performance. Just as plating serves many purposes, there are also many kinds of plating techniques.
