The 3nh KS1500 color haze meter accurately measures multiple parameters of transparent/semi-transparent materials, including haze, transmittance, color difference, clarity, turbidity, platinum-cobalt chromaticity, yellowness, and whiteness, and displays a spectral graph. Its open measurement area supports horizontal or vertical testing, accommodating liquids and large samples (thickness < 105 mm). Multiple measurement apertures (20/15/8 mm) are available to meet the needs of samples of different sizes. Built-in quality management software supports data export and report printing, helping laboratories and production lines achieve precise quality control.

1. High-precision Spectroscopic Technology

Adopting the O/D optical structure (parallel light illumination, diffuse reflection reception), combined with nano-integrated spectral devices and silicon photodiode array (dual-row, 18 groups), wavelength range 400-700 nm, wavelength spacing 10 nm, it accurately captures the transmittance curve of transmission samples and precisely outputs various chromaticity data of transmission samples.
