Butyrometer (Milk / Cream / Paneer / Skim Milk)
Application
Butyrometers are specialized glass instruments used for:
- Determination of fat content in milk and milk products by Gerber Method
- Testing of Milk, Cream, Skim Milk, and Paneer
- Routine quality control in dairy laboratories, milk collection centers, and dairy plants
Compliance Standard
- IS 1224 (Part I) – Determination of fat by Gerber method
- ISO 2446 – Milk — Determination of fat content (Gerber method)
- IS / ISO standards for dairy testing glassware
- Made from heat and chemical resistant Borosilicate Glass
Product Description
Butyrometers are precision-calibrated glass tubes with a graduated neck designed specifically for fat measurement using sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol in the Gerber centrifuge. The graduations directly indicate the percentage of fat.
Each type of butyrometer is designed for a specific dairy product to ensure accurate fat column reading after centrifugation and water bath treatment.
