NH310 Colorimeter
An 8/d colorimeter with simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement, two apertures (Φ8/4 mm) and camera-assisted point location — for advanced colour-difference, yellowness and whiteness control.
- Simultaneous SCI and SCE measurement — assess the effect of the specular component
- Two measuring apertures, Φ8 mm and Φ4 mm
- Stable, horizontal housing plus camera-assisted measurement-point location
- Built-in calibration tile with automatic calibration before each session
The NH310 is a portable 8/d colorimeter that uses multi-channel colour sensing to determine colour difference, yellowness and whiteness. Unlike the simpler models in the NR/NH range, it measures in SCI and SCE mode simultaneously, letting you assess how the specular reflection component affects the result.
A stable, horizontal housing makes measurement easier and prevents the device from sliding out of position, while two apertures (Φ8 mm and Φ4 mm) let you match the measurement to the sample size. A new camera-assisted measurement-point location feature and a built-in calibration tile with automatic pre-measurement calibration further simplify day-to-day use.

Applications
The NH310 suits colour measurement in apparel, plastics, furniture and upholstery production, construction and design. SCI/SCE measurement plus whiteness/yellowness readings also make it useful in printing and quality control of white or light-coloured products, both in the lab and on site.
