    Calibration of a density meter : final report PR92005
    (BSES, 1992) Sanders, DH
    The Australian Sugar Milling Council (ASMC), as part of its continuing investigation into precision density meters, purchased an EXAC Model 8300EX 12A mass flow meter with density measuring capabilities. This instrument will be tested in four sugar mill laboratories in the 1992 crushing season comparing results with those obtained by the conventional cane payment method ie brix hydrometer. Prior to conducting these trials ASMC requested BSES assistance in calibrating the instrument against the standard bix hydrometer using pure refined sugar solution.

    Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
    (BSES, 1997) Mackintosh, DL; Noble, AG; Sanders, DH
    A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar mills over 1994 and 1995 season. The evaluation has been painstaking and extensive in scope and has culminated in the proposal to include a Method 3A in the Laboratory Manual for Australian Sugar Mills, "Brix Determination in Juice by Vibrating Tube Density Measurement". The process has involved millers' and the growers' technical personnel.
