Product Description
Transparent products can have a milky or fuzzy appearance dependent on its light scattering behavior. The haze-gard i quantifies the visual perception with objective measurement criteria:
~ Total transmittance
~ Transmission haze
~ Clarity
haze-gard i controls complete transparency by taking only one reading. At additional cost, you can purchase easily replaced holders for different applications and a special holder for very thin films. The measurement of haze is used to determine abrasion resistance of transparent materials. The haze-gard i Abrasion Holder (additional cost) facilitates positioning of the abraded area in the measurement beam. Liquids are best measured using cuvettes and the cuvette table, also available at additional cost.
Haze and transmittance control according to international standard methods with one unit:
ASTM D1003 - illuminants C and A non-compensated method
ISO 13468 - illuminant D65 Compensated method
haze-gard i displays all results simultaneously - well prepared for any customer specification.
With state-of-the-art optics and LED technology the haze-gard i delivers an unprecedented performance:
Reference beam, self-diagnosis and enclosed optics.
LED light source assures long-term stable results for many years: 10 year warranty on the lamp life !
Automatic, long-term calibration - operator friendly and safe.
Superior repeatability and inter-instrument agreement are guaranteed
The new touch display is designed to be intuitive and easy to use for any task. The open measurement compartment lets you work freely to analyze any sample size. Horizontal or vertical set-up - Sample handling in any position is convenient and allows you highest flexibility. Measurement data can be analyzed and saved in projects directly in the haze-gard i for efficient work management: Large instrument memory (5000 readings). Complete statistics with averaging, min / max, standard deviation. Data transfer can be performed in all sorts of ways to support you in routine lab work.
Whatever the task, smart-lab haze data analysis software will do it for you. From simple data tables of single test series to trend reports over time - anything is possible.
