FAQs of Butyrometer:
Q: How is the Gerber butyrometer used to determine milk fat content?
A: The Gerber butyrometer is used by introducing a measured volume of milk and sulfuric acid into the device, followed by centrifugation. The separated fat rises into the graduated stem, where the fat percentage can be directly read from the scale, facilitating quick analysis with 0.1% precision.
Q: What is the process for sterilizing the butyrometer after use?
A: After use, clean the butyrometer thoroughly with water and detergent, then sterilize it either by autoclaving or heating up to 120C, as permitted by its borosilicate glass construction. This ensures removal of contaminants and safe reuse.
Q: When should the accuracy of the butyrometer be verified?
A: Accuracy should be verified regularly, especially before each series of fat determinations, after cleaning, or if the instrument has been dropped or subjected to thermal stress. Calibration checks ensure reliable results to within 0.1%.
Q: Where can this butyrometer be used?
A: This butyrometer is suitable for dairy laboratories, milk collection centers, research institutes, and quality control departments throughout India. Its manual operation makes it ideal for remote and field locations as well.
Q: What are the benefits of using a borosilicate glass butyrometer?
A: Borosilicate glass provides excellent chemical resistance, thermal durability up to 120C, and reduced risk of breakage or contamination. These qualities extend the lifespan of the instrument and maintain measurement accuracy.
Q: Is the butyrometer reusable and how is it maintained?
A: Yes, the butyrometer is fully reusable. Proper maintenance involves careful cleaning, sterilization, and gentle handling to avoid breakage. Routine inspection for cracks or residue buildup is recommended for optimal performance.
