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°.

Light should be projected through the sample to measure haze, then assess the scattered light with an integrating sphere and sensors.  The haze percentage is ascertained by the scattering light to the total transmitted light.

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

A calorimeter is used to measure heat that is gained or lost during a chemical or physical reaction. A sample is taken in an insulated container, and a temperature change is measured. This assists in computing the alterations in energy by the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat.

You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.

To keep a neutral background, helping to reduce color distortion and bias.

Our professional team will give you the best suggestion as long as you tell us what kind of test you need to do and the required specification.

Inconsistent results from a haze meter can stem from issues like calibration, dusty haze meter optics, inadequate power supply, and improper measurement technique. If you have any questions, you can contact our Haze measurement experts

 A spectrophotometer illuminates a sample with light or passes light through it and records the reflected or transmitted light over the wavelength range. It transforms this data into color coordinates (such as L*a*b*), allowing accurate color assessment as well as color comparison to standards.
