Re:Fear tactics,lies and harassment! at Webmaster Debate & Suggestions

Oh you are hilarious! Brix was the name of the scientist who invented the refractometer to measure the density of plant juices! A Brix reading is the measurement of totally dissolves substances (TDS) not sugar !
Of course one has to be familiar with the material being measured, but common sense pretty much dictates what to expect! Yes an idiot could not use a refractometer,you have proven that! lol!

ROTFLMAO!!!! Can't you get ANYTHING right?!!!!! Brix IS NOT a measurement of TDS, it is a measurement of the amount of sugar dissolved in solution as I pointed out. Here, let me help you out:

"Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a unit representative of the sugar content of an aqueous solution. One degree Brix corresponds to 1 gram ofsucrose in 100 grams of solution and thus represents the strength of the solution as a percentage by weight (% w/w) (strictly speaking, by mass). If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, such as other sugars, minerals etc., then the °Bx only approximate the dissolved solid content. The °Bx has traditionally been used in the wine, sugar, fruit juice, honey and other industries."

°Brix is a measurement of sugar solution concentration and is required in many food processes including sugar production,

fruit juice processing, soft drink production and many other food processing areas where sweeteners are involved.

"[BRIHKS] Named for A. F. W. Brix, a nineteenth-century German inventor, the Brix scale is a system used in the United States to measure the sugar content of grapes and wine. The Brix (sugar content) is determined by a hydrometer which indicates a liquid's specific gravity (the density of a liquid in relation to that of pure water). Each degree Brix is equivalent to 1 gram of sugar per 100 grams of grape juice. "

Brix (°bx)

Definition

Relative density scale used in sugar and winemakingindustry, it indicates the percent of cane sugar (sucrose) byweight (grams per 100 milliliter of water) in a solution or juice of unfermented grapes in degrees Brix (°Bx). The most commonly used refractrometer scale for measuring solids dissolved in water, it corresponds directly to therefractive index scale. "

"Brix scale [brɪks]

(Physics / General Physics) a scale for calibrating hydrometers used for measuring the concentration and density of sugar solutions at a given temperature

[named after A. F. W. Brix, 19th-century German inventor]"
