Details of Honey Conductivity tester Hanna® DIST3

1 µS/cm

RESOLUTION

1413 µS/cm

CALIBRATION STANDARD

The Hanna DIST3 HI98303 measures electrical conductivity in µS/cm, with a resolution of 1 µS/cm, for checks on prepared solutions in the honey house.

With honey, sample preparation matters as much as the reading. This tester lets you compare batches using a consistent procedure. It does not measure moisture or display TDS, and the probe must not be placed directly into undiluted honey.

01 · MEASUREMENT

Compare samples prepared in the same way

The range is 0–1999 µS/cm and stated accuracy is ±2% of full scale: approximately ±40 µS/cm, equivalent to 5% of an 800 µS/cm reading. Spain’s RD 1049/2003 specifies up to 0.8 mS/cm for blossom honeys and at least 0.8 mS/cm for honeydew honey, chestnut honey and their blends. 0.8 mS/cm equals 800 µS/cm. Exceptions are strawberry tree (Arbutus), heathers (Erica), eucalyptus, lime (Tilia), ling heather (Calluna), manuka (Leptospermum) and tea tree (Melaleuca). The 2023 Guide to Iberian Monofloral Honeys gives ≥0.90 mS/cm as a commercial reference for holm oak and oak honeydew honeys.

02 · PREPARATION

The amount of honey depends on its moisture content

The International Honey Commission method uses a solution containing 20 g of honey dry matter, made up with distilled water to a final volume of 100 ml. For honey with 18% moisture, weigh 24.39 g of honey, dissolve it and make up to 100 ml. This means neither 20 g of honey nor adding 100 ml of water.

03 · CALIBRATION AND CARE

Calibrate, then allow the reading to stabilise

The specified standard for the HI98303 is a 1413 µS/cm conductivity solution. Use a fresh portion and follow the calibration procedure for your version. Rinse the probe with purified water, immerse it in the solution without exceeding the instrument’s immersion limit, stir gently to release bubbles and wait for a stable reading. Afterwards, rinse off sugar residues and replace the protective cap.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

Automatic compensation does not validate the honey method

DIST3 automatically compensates between 0 and 50 °C; this operating range is distinct from the result’s reference temperature. The IHC method uses 20 °C. Before comparison with its limits, confirm your instrument version’s reference and validate the procedure. Record dilution, temperature and reading for each batch.
