Product Description
The Spectrocolorimeter models YR05516 and YR05517 from Kalstein are outstanding instruments designed for precise color measurement and quality control across various industries such as plastics, textiles, paints, and more. These devices are engineered with an optical geometry of D/8, ensuring diffused illumination and an 8-degree viewing angle for accurate assessment of color.
Equipped with a combined full spectrum LED light source and a UV light source, these spectrocolorimeters assure high accuracy under different lighting conditions. The devices cover a wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm with a wavelength interval of 10 nm, utilizing a silicon photodiode array with double row 32 groups to capture detailed spectral data. Model YR05516 uses dual measurement apertures, while YR05517 employs a single aperture approach, catering to different user needs.
Both models offer compliance with various international standards like CIE No.15 and ASTM E1164, supporting multiple color spaces such as CIE LAB, s-RGB, and Munsell. With innovative features like a large 3.5-inch color touchscreen display and data storage for thousands of sample measurements, these spectrocolorimeters set a new benchmark in the industry.
