Atago PAL-96S Ramen Refractometer – Soup and Kansui Measurement

The Atago PAL-96S is a specialized digital handheld refractometer designed to measure ramen soup concentration and kansui Baumé degree simultaneously in one instrument. Operating with just 2-3 drops of sample, it delivers measurement results quickly, making it practical for kitchen environments.

The device features two distinct measurement scales: ramen soup from 0.0-53.0% with 0.1% resolution and ±0.2% accuracy; kansui Baumé from 0.0-9.9° with 0.1° resolution and ±0.3° accuracy. The IP65 protection rating provides durability against splashing and steam exposure in kitchen settings. The instrument does not have automatic temperature compensation, so measurements should be conducted within the specified temperature range.

Soup concentration and kansui ratio are critical parameters in ramen production for flavor consistency and cost control. The PAL-96S contributes to production standardization by measuring these two values quickly and reproducibly with a single device.
