| 发明名称 | Methods and apparatus for the measurement of malt beverages | ||
| 摘要 | A method is provided for determining a physical property of a malt beverage sample. The method includes measuring a refractive index of the malt beverage sample. The method further includes determining a temperature-compensated measured refractive index by temperature correcting the measured refractive index relative to a predetermined reference temperature. The temperature correcting is specific to the total dissolved solids of the malt beverage sample. The method also includes converting the temperature-compensated measured refractive index to a unit of measurement. The unit of measurement relates to a physical property of the malt beverage sample. Apparatus are also provided. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for determining a physical property of a malt beverage sample, the method comprising: measuring a refractive index of the malt beverage sample; determining a temperature-compensated measured refractive index by temperature correcting the measured refractive index relative to a predetermined reference temperature, wherein the temperature correcting is specific to the total dissolved solids, rather than simply the sucrose content, of the malt beverage sample; and converting the temperature-compensated measured refractive index to a unit of measurement, wherein the unit of measurement relates to a physical property of the malt beverage sample. | ||
