Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ethanol concentration determination in wine, and more specifically, to a mercury thermometer fixing device for determining ethanol concentration in wine. Background Technology

[0002] Determining the ethanol concentration in alcoholic beverages is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and compliance with regulations. According to standards, the ethanol concentration in baijiu (Chinese white liquor) can be determined using the second method: the alcohol meter method. The method is as follows: Pour an appropriate amount of liquor sample into a graduated cylinder. After the bubbles disappear, insert a clean alcohol meter into the graduated cylinder, ensuring the meter does not touch the cylinder wall. Simultaneously, insert a thermometer, ensuring the mercury end of the thermometer does not touch the cylinder wall or bottom. After the temperature stabilizes for approximately 5 minutes, read the alcohol count and the thermometer reading. Finally, based on the measured temperature and alcohol meter reading, use a suitable temperature compensation table to convert the data to the standard ethanol concentration at 20°C.

[0003] Currently, temperature measurements are typically taken using handheld thermometers. However, waiting for the temperature to stabilize is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to slippage and damage due to prolonged handling. Mercury thermometers are commonly used, and damage to them poses a safety hazard. Furthermore, mercury thermometers are difficult to read in dim lighting, leading to misreading.
