SP62 Portal Sphere Spectrophotometer
The SP62 Portable Sphere Spectrophotometer is convenient, cost-efficient and designed to provide fast, precise color measurement information on a wide range of materials, such as paper, paint, plastics, and textiles.
Absolute and difference measurements are obtained for the following colorimetric systems, including: L*a*b*, ∆L*∆a*∆b•, L*c*h˚, ∆L•∆C*∆H*, ∆E*ab, ∆ECMC, ∆E CIE94, XYZ, Whiteness and Yellowness per ASTM E313-98.
Advantages
- Versatile. Use for lab, plant or field operation
- Easy to Read. Large, graphical LCD display Quick Color Compare. Permits quick measurement and comparison of two colors without need to create tolerances or store data
- Special PROJECT Mode. Multiple color standards can be collected under an identified project as part of corporate color standards programs
- Pass/Fail Mode. Up to 1,024 standards with tolerances can be stored for easy pass/fail measurement
- Wide Range of Aperture Sizes.To accommodate various measurement areas; available in 4mm, 8mm, and 14mm apertures
- Inter-Instrument Agreement.Superior agreement capabilities ensures integrity of multiple-instrument color control
- Measuring Functions and Indices. Absolute and difference measurements are obtained for the following colorimetric systems, including: L*a*b*, ÄL*Äa*Äb•, L*c*h˚, ÄL•ÄC*ÄH*, ÄE*ab, ÄECMC, ÄE CIE94, XYZ, Whiteness and Yellowness per ASTM E313-98
- Opacity, Color Strength and Shade Sorting. Device measures opacity, colour strength in chromatic, apparent, and tri-stimulus calculations, and 555 shade sorting for precise color control of products involving plastic, painted, or textile materials
- Texture and Gloss Influence. To determine the influence of the specular component, the SP62 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular-included (colour) and specular-excluded (appearance)
- User-Friendly Ergonomics. A wrist strap and tactile side grips facilitate holding and a flip back target shoe adds flexibility
- Rechargeable Battery. Allows for remote use
