Scope: This test method covers the measurement of refractive indexes, accurate to six units in the fifth decimal place,
and refractive dispersions, accurate to twelve units in the fifth decimal place, of transparent and light-colored
hydrocarbon liquids that have refractive indexes in the range from 1.33 to 1.50, and at temperatures from
+20 to +30 °C.
The test method is not applicable within the accuracy stated to liquids having colors darker than No. 4 ASTM
Color as determined by Test Method D 1500, to liquids having bubble points so near the test temperature that
a reading cannot be obtained before substantial weathering takes place, to liquids having a refractive index
above 1.50, or to measurements made at temperatures above +30 °C.
Refractometry has been a well-proven method to determine The typical accuracy for Abbe-type refractometers is in the third
the concentration of liquid mixtures or their purity or quality decimal place with the fourth decimal place estimated.
characteristics. This can either be identification or quality control.
