Product Description
The Precision Colorimeter YG0838 stands out as a state-of-the-art instrument designed for accurate color measurement, boasting advanced specifications tailored for professionals in a variety of industries. This model is equipped with a 45°/0° illuminating/viewing geometry, ensuring precision in capturing color data from surfaces with accuracy. The measuring aperture, sized at Φ20mm, facilitates easy and comprehensive sampling of colors, making it especially suitable for testing on surfaces with stripes or wet products.
Featuring a silicon photoelectric diode detector, the YG0838 provides reliable data collection with efficient locating capabilities, utilizing both illumination and cross locating methods. The colorimeter supports multiple color spaces including CIEL*a*b*C*h*, CIEL*a*b*, and CIEXYZ, along with employing advanced color difference formulas such as △E*ab, △L*a*b*, and △E*C*h*. The light source is a D65 LED with blue light excitation, delivering consistent light for accurate results with very minimal equipment errors, ≤0.50ΔE*ab.
Regarding practical usage, it has remarkable storage capabilities with the ability to hold up to 100 standard settings and 20,000 sample records. This colorimeter boasts a standard deviation of 0.08ΔE*ab based on an average of 30 measurements on a standard white plate, weighing just 500g with dimensions of 205×67×80 mm. Powering this device is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (3.7V@3200mAh), ensuring sustained usage with a lamp life of more than 1.6 million measurements over 5 years. A complete charge cycle takes about 8 hours. Additionally, users can leverage the CQCS3 Software for enhanced data processing and have the option to include a miniature thermal printer for on-the-go documentation.
