Product Information

Gerber Butyrometers

Stockcode:

Gerber butyrometers are specialised instruments used in the dairy industry for testing the fat content in milk and dairy products. These precision devices are designed to measure the butyric acid content, which is an indicator of the fat content in dairy samples. Gerber butyrometers consist of a graduated neck tube, a conical cream separation funnel, and a calibrated scale for reading the fat content. The process involves adding a specific volume of the sample to the butyrometer, along with sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol, which separates the fat from the other components. After centrifugation, the fat layer forms in the graduated neck, allowing for a direct reading of the fat content. Gerber butyrometers are widely used in quality control laboratories, dairy farms, and milk processing plants to ensure accurate measurements of fat content in dairy products, facilitating compliance with industry standards and providing valuable information for product formulation and nutritional labeling.
