Scope
GB/T 6488-2022 is the English-translated version of 液体化工产品 折光率的测定.
GB/T 6488-2022 is the Chinese national method for measuring the refractive index of liquid chemical products.
It describes two instruments and the procedures that go with them, the Abbe refractometer and the automatic refractometer, covering their measuring principles, the requirements for an Abbe refractometer and the way it is corrected, the automatic measurement procedure and the contents of the test report.
Clause 1 limits it to transparent or translucent liquid chemical products, at temperatures from 20 °C to 60 °C and over refractive indices from 1.3000 to 1.7000.
Among the documents it quotes are GB/T 6682 on analytical laboratory water and the JJG verification regulations for Abbe refractometers and working glass liquid-in-glass thermometers.
It replaces GB/T 6488-2008, was issued on 14 October 2022 and has applied since 1 May 2023.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" drafted.
This document replaces GB/T 6488-2008 "Determination of Refractive Index of Liquid Chemical Products (20°C)", and is consistent with GB/T 6488-2008 In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Changed the temperature range (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2008 edition);
b) Added the principle of automatic refractometer (see 4.2);
c) Changed the requirements for Abbe refractometers (see 6.1, 5.1 of the 2008 edition);
d) Changed the correction method of Abbe refractometer (see 7.1, 6.2 of the 2008 edition);
e) Added automatic refractometer measurement method (see 7.2);
f) Added the content of the test report (see Chapter 8).
1 Scope
This document describes a method for determining the refractive index of liquid chemical products using an Abbe refractometer and an automatic refractometer.
This document is suitable for liquefaction of transparent or translucent, temperature range of 20°C~60°C, refractive index range of 1.3000~1.7000 Determination of industrial products.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents constitute essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, dated citations documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest edition (including all amendments) applies to this document.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Refractive index
Under the condition of the D line of the sodium spectrum, the ratio of the speed of light in the air to the speed of light in the object to be measured or the input of light when it passes through the object to be measured from the air.
The ratio of the sine of the incident angle to the sine of the refraction angle.
4 Principles
4.1 Abbe's refractometer The light from the measured material enters the prism and is refracted, then it conforms to the formula (1) of the law of refraction. sini (1) where. i ---incidence angle; r --- refraction angle;
N --- the refractive index of the prism; n ---Refractive index of the measured substance.
From the optically sparser medium to the optically denser medium, the incident angle is greater than the refraction angle, so that the incident angle i=90°, and substituting into formula (1), we get.
