WHAT DOES BRIX SCALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Brix

Degrees Brix is the sugar content of an aqueous solution. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by weight. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximates the dissolved solid content. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, fruit juice, and honey industries. Comparable scales for indicating sucrose content are the degree Plato, which is widely used by the brewing industry, and the degree Balling, which is the oldest of the three systems and therefore mostly found in older textbooks, but also still in use in some parts of the world. A sucrose solution with an apparent specific gravity of 1.040 would be 9.99325 °Bx or 9.99359 °P while the representative sugar body, the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis, which favors the use of mass fraction, would report the solution strength as 9.99249%.

Definition of Brix scale in the English dictionary

The definition of Brix scale in the dictionary is a scale for calibrating hydrometers used for measuring the concentration and density of sugar solutions at a given temperature.
