3nh KS1300 color Haze Meter is spectro-Haze Meter specifically designed for measuring the color and haze of transmitted samples. It employs a transmission 0/D optical structure and nano-integrated spectral technology to accurately capture multiple parameters such as haze, transmittance, color difference, whiteness, yellowness, pt-co index, and turbidity of transparent and translucent materials such as glass, plastic, thin film, and liquid. It can also display various colorimetric data such as transmittance spectrum diagrams and chromaticity diagrams.
The KS1300 color Haze Meter features a 7-inch TFT true-color touchscreen, making it simple and convenient to operate. It employs an open measurement area, allowing for both vertical and horizontal testing, and can detect samples with a thickness less than 170mm. It also offers selectable single-diameter options of 20/15/8mm to accommodate materials of various sizes. The instrument is equipped with quality management software and supports multiple interfaces such as USB and Bluetooth, enabling data storage, export, and report printing. It is widely used in industries such as glass, plastics, display processing and packaging, and liquid pharmaceutical analysis, making it a preferred device for basic quality control of general-purpose transparent materials.
