YH1600 Color Haze Meter
Benchtop color haze meter for measuring haze, transmittance and colour on thicker transparent samples (up to 170 mm) — ASTM D1003 / ISO 13468 compliant, four measuring apertures.
- Dual standard — ASTM D1003 (non-compensation) and ISO 13468 (compensation) in one instrument
- Measures haze and transmittance AND full colour (CIE Lab, XYZ, ΔE) via a 256-pixel CMOS sensor
- Sample chamber accepts samples up to 170 mm thick, four apertures (Φ20/15/8/4 mm)
- Repeatability under 0.05 (Φ20 mm), memory up to 20,000 samples, USB and Bluetooth
The YH1600 is a benchtop color haze meter from 3nh built to measure haze, light transmittance and full colour on transparent and translucent samples, including thicker items — up to 170 mm — such as heavier glass panes, panels or plastic blocks. It runs the ASTM D1003/1044 non-compensation method and the ISO 13468 compensation method in parallel.
A precision concave grating paired with a 256-pixel dual-array CMOS sensor delivers an accurate transmittance curve and a full colour characterisation of the sample (CIE Lab, XYZ, ΔE). An independent light-source monitor and temperature sensor track measurement conditions in real time, and the open sample chamber accepts both vertical and horizontal loading.
