The TS-CH1610 Color Haze Meter is engineered to deliver comprehensive optical testing in a single, streamlined platform, supporting the ASTM D1003 non-compensation method and the ISO 13468 compensation method for full light transmittance and haze evaluation. Built around a high-precision concave grating and a 256-pixel CMOS detector array, the instrument captures the complete transmittance curve of each sample and derives detailed chromaticity data with excellent accuracy. This design enables highly precise, repeatable measurement of transmittance, haze, and color across a broad range of transparent and translucent materials.
Key Features
- Dual-Standard Compliance (ISO & ASTM): The instrument supports both ISO and ASTM testing protocols within a single unit, satisfying the compliance needs of laboratories operating under ASTM D1003/1044, ISO 13468, ISO 14782, GB/T 2410, JJF 1303-2011, CIE 15.2, GB/T 3978, ASTM E308, JIS K7105, JIS K7361, and JIS K 7136.
- Multiple Observation Light Sources: A wide selection of color spaces — CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, s-RGB, and βxy — is available alongside numerous standard illuminants, including D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F1–F12, CWF, DLF, TL83, TL84, TPL5, and U30, allowing the instrument to adapt to specialized measurement conditions across industries.
- Intuitive Operation with Fast, Accurate Results: A large touchscreen interface simplifies day-to-day operation, while the 256-pixel dual-array CMOS image sensor ensures high-accuracy, repeatable transmittance and haze readings. A USB data output port allows seamless integration with laboratory information systems.
