Abstract:
1. A method of designing a liquid under test, comprising: providing, by a portable information handling system (IHS), at least one 3 dimensional (3D) polynomial scale of the correlation of refractive indexes, temperatures and concentrations of the liquid under test, the providing of the 3D polynomial scale being on a single 3D polynomial scale per liquid type basis; measuring, by a refractometer, the refractive index and temperature of a liquid under test; receiving, by the portable IHS, a refractive index measurement and temperature measurement from the refractometer for the liquid under test; applying, by the portable IHS, the refractive index measurement and temperature measurement to the 3D polynomial scale to determine the corresponding concentration of the liquid under test; and displaying, by the portable IHS, the corresponding concentration of the liquid under test.
