Does anyone have any experience in using inline refractometers? If so, how reliable are they? I'm looking into using refractometers to measure solids of our spent and product liquor. The solids range from 10% to 70%, and the temperature can peak at approximately 250 degrees. The liquor is spent chemicals from pulping wood in an ammonium bisulfite cook. Thanks in advance for any advice.
