Product Description
The YR05518 and YR05519 spectrocolorimeters are cutting-edge devices designed for precision color measurement and quality control across multiple industries. These devices boast an optical geometry of D/8, which provides diffused illumination with an 8-degree viewing angle, ensuring accurate and consistent color evaluation under various lighting conditions. They are compliant with international standards such as CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, and ISO 7724-1, among others.
Both models feature a measuring aperture of Φ8mm, making them ideal for industries like plastics, electronics, paints, inks, textiles, and ceramics. The integrating sphere size is Φ40mm, and they employ a combined full-spectrum LED light source, offering unmatched stability and color assessment capability. The spectrophotometric mode utilizes a flat grating, complemented by a silicon photodiode array sensor with 24 groups, ensuring a wavelength range between 400～700nm with a semiband width of 10nm. This precise configuration allows for lumen measurement and calculated reflectivity at defined wavelengths such as 440nm, 550nm, and 600nm for the YR05518, and 550nm for the YR05519 model.
