AS 4185—1994
This Australian Standard was prepared by Committee CH/1, Laboratory Glassware and
Related Apparatus. It was approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia
on 21 February 1994 and published on 16 May 1994.
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

Polarimeters—Sugar—Automatic
PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee, CH/1, for Laboratory
Glassware and Related Apparatus, under the direction of the Multitechnics Standards Policy
Board.
The objective of this Standard is to specify the performance of an automatic type of sugar
polarimeter for use in the analysis of sugar cane juices, sugars and sugar products. This
Standard is a revision of AS K157—1968, Automatic sugar polarimeter.
This edition is based on a submission from CSR Limited whose Central Laboratory was
responsible for most of the work in developing the specification.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and
guidance.

1 SCOPE This Standard gives the requirements for an automatic polarimeter used for
determining the sucrose content of sugar cane juices, sugars and sugar mill products. The
instrument is intended to be used for quality control purposes by persons who may not be
technically conversant with the theory and the practical limitations of the instrument.
NOTES:
1 Throughout the specification the sugar polarimeter is referred to as the ‘instrument’.
