Zero calibration of a hazemeter is a critical pre-measurement procedure to ensure the instrument’s accuracy by resetting its baseline to "zero" when no haze or light attenuation is present.

1. Align the hazemeter’s measurement window with air or a black background, ensuring no objects block the window.

2. Press the hazemeter’s zero calibration button and wait for the instrument to complete automatic calibration. At this point, the instrument should display a zero haze value and a zero light transmittance value.

3. Observe the instrument’s display to confirm the zero calibration result stabilizes near zero. If the zero calibration is inaccurate, repeat the above steps multiple times until the displayed haze and light transmittance values stabilize near zero.

Perform 0-degree calibration before testing, this eliminates inherent instrument drift, environmental interference, or residual signal errors, ensuring subsequent measurements of transparent/translucent samples (e.g., plastic films，pvc, glass, coating, displays and cosmetic packaging) are reliable. Correct for minor instrument deviations caused by long-term use, temperature changes, or power fluctuations.

Assembling the light booth entails connecting the panels, fixing the light fixtures, fitting the tubes, and calibrating the lights according to our 3nh manufacturer’s instructional and safety guidelines.

Usually you will find haze and transmittance standards of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, & JIS K7105.

Look for dirty or fingerprinted glass along the optical path, recalibrate with standards, and check the set-up for outside light so that it is controlled. If the problems still exist, please reach out to the helpdesk or book a service with your professional service.

A CAC is a professional light booth designed to provide standardized lighting conditions for visual color assessment. It includes multiple light sources like D65, TL84, and UV.

A colorimeter or spectrophotometer should be used to measure the color of a solution. The instrument directs light through the liquid and quantifies absorbance at certain wavelengths. The values obtained indicate the color intensity of the solution and, by default, the concentration of the solution.

The gloss scale is normally measured against the scale of 0 to 100 gloss units (GU). The scale is zero at matte and 100 at a mirror. Other very smooth surfaces can be over 100 GU at lower angles, such as 20°.

Accurate readings can be obtained by keeping the sample clean, regular calibration, control of ambient light and appropriate measurement settings.

Compared to an analog model, digital gauges not only provide more accuracy, but also allow for greater repeatability and are easier to work with. Advanced digital gauges allow for features such as data storage and automatic calibration and statistical analysis. For these reasons, digital gauges are the preferred choice for professional applications.
