Product Description
The spectrocolorimeter models YR05518 and YR05519 from Kalstein represent a prime example of advanced technology meeting precise color measurement demands across various industries. Both models boast an optical geometry of D/8 with diffused illumination and an 8-degree viewing angle, ensuring consistent and accurate color assessments.
The YR05518 and YR05519 are equipped with a specialized combined full spectrum LED light source, offering a comprehensive wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm, with a semiband width of 10 nm. This feature facilitates precise color evaluation through the silicon photodiode array sensor that contains double row 24 groups. Furthermore, both models support measurement reflectance range from L: 0 to 100, and allow reflectivity measurements at specific wavelengths chosen by the user, streamlining the process for material-specific applications.
In industrial settings such as plastics, electronics, textiles, ceramics, and printing, these spectrocolorimeters excel by offering features like the Φ8mm measuring aperture, enabling detailed quality control. The integrating sphere size of Φ40mm alongside the SCI mode compliance to international standards, including CIE No.15 and ISO7724-1, underlines their capability for reliable measurements.
