Refractometers

K-Patents was acquired in 2019 by the Finnish group Vaisala with the primary purpose of strengthening growth and ensuring generational change. The instruments are still labeled “K-Patents” and will continue to be so. just like the worldwide dealer network.

K-Patents is the leading supplier of process refractometers for industrial process monitoring and control. The refractometers are used for measuring the concentration of solutions in all types of liquids and mixtures. A K-Patents refractometer provides a reliable and accurate real time measurement, ideal for process optimization and control. Product quality and batch times are more precisely controlled and costs are reduced. The time consuming and costly sampling procedures are replaced with a continuous inline refractometer measurement, that is virtually service and maintenance free.
