Refractive Index - Brix - Density Conversion Chart

The following tables show the conversion between refractive index respective to Density & Brix at 20°C. There is a direct relationship between Density and Brix. This conversion is based on table 109 of NBS Circular 440. Refractive Index and Brix reading are temperature-dependent.
