3nh KS1210 Haze Meter is professionally designed to measure haze, total transmittance, and clarity of materials such as glass, plastics, films, and screen. It supports both ASTM D1003 uncompensated method and ISO 13468 compensated method measurement modes, meeting the testing needs of different standard systems in one device.

Key performance indicators such as total transmittance, haze, and clarity are output simultaneously.

A single measurement can simultaneously obtain three indicators: full transmittance, haze, and clarity, with both transmittance and haze resolution reaching 0.01 units.

Large sample space, flexible for handling irregularly shaped materials

The open measurement structure supports both vertical and horizontal placement, and the maximum sample thickness can reach 105mm. It can directly measure large-size plates, film rolls and liquid cuvettes without destructive cutting.

Dual standard compatibility, one-click flexible switching

It has built-in ASTM D1003 uncompensated method and ISO 13468 compensated method, which users can switch as needed to meet the testing requirements of different industry standards.

Professional optical hardware architecture ensures accurate and interference-resistant measurements.

Employing a 400~700nm combined LED light source, a 154mm high-precision integrating sphere, and nano-integrated spectroscopic devices, coupled with a dual-row 18-group silicon photodiode array sensor, it achieves more balanced optical sampling and more sensitive signal acquisition, ensuring detection accuracy and long-term stability.

Authoritative standards are fully covered, and testing results are compliant and reliable.

Fully compliant with international and domestic standards such as ASTM D1003/1044, ISO 13468/14782, GB/T 2410, and JIS K7105/K7361/K7136.

Massive storage and intelligent interaction ensure worry-free data management

Supports storage of 5,000 standard samples and 20,000 test samples. Equipped with USB, Bluetooth, and a serial printer port, it can connect to an external printer or PC-based quality control software for easier traceability and analysis.

Application Fields

Glass Processing: KS1210 is widely used for testing the haze and transmittance of transparent glass products such as architectural glass, automotive glass, and photovoltaic glass. Its high-precision measurement capabilities ensure that the optical properties of the glass meet industry standards, helping companies control product quality and enhance product competitiveness.

Plastic Processing: Suitable for optical performance testing of various transparent plastic sheets, plates, and products. Whether it is PC, PMMA, PET, or other transparent plastic materials, the KS1210 can provide accurate haze and transmittance data, supporting both R&D and quality control needs.

Film Manufacturing: For products such as optoelectronic films, packaging films, and functional films, the KS1210 provides a fast and accurate haze measurement solution. Its 1.5-second rapid measurement, combined with large-capacity storage, meets the high-frequency quality inspection needs of film production lines.

Display Screen Processing: In the manufacturing of displays such as touch screens, LCD modules, and OLED panels, the KS1210 is used to test the optical performance of key materials such as transparent conductive films, polarizers, and cover glass to ensure that the display effect meets design standards.

Packaging Industry: Haze detection is used for transparent or semi-transparent packaging materials (such as plastic bottles, composite films, and stretch films) used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic packaging. This ensures that the packaging materials possess good transparency and appearance quality, meeting both food safety and consumer experience requirements.

 1. When I received NH310/NH300 colorimeter and perform measurement, why the measured data is abnormal?

After receiving NH310/NH300, you have to perform white and black calibration manually when first starting.

2. In which condition, manual white and black calibration and auto calibration  are required for NH310? 

a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.

b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.

c.  Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.

3. In which condition, manual white and black calibration for NH300 is required?

a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH300 when first starting.

b. In the subsequent starting, no need to perform manual calibration.

c.  Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH300 measured data is not accurate.

4. How to replace NH310 measuring aperture?

There are three measuring apertures for NH310: Φ8mm (standard accessory), Φ4mm (standard accessory), extended Φ8mm (optional accessory)

a. Turning on

b. Removing measuring aperture, install the needed measuring aperture.
