CHN SPEC CS-700 Color and Haze Meter

CHN SPEC CS-700 Color and Haze Meter

The CHN SPEC CS-700 Color and Haze Meter is a high-end optical analysis device designed for research and development (R&D) laboratories and quality control (QC) departments. By integrating both haze measurement technology and a spectrophotometer into a single system, the CS-700 helps users accurately evaluate light transmittance, scattering capability, and complex color deviation indices with just one operation.

Outstanding Features

• 3-in-1 measurement solution: The device provides comprehensive data including Haze, Total Transmittance, and a wide range of in-depth color parameters such as CIE-Lab* color space, LCh, Yellowness Index (YI), Whiteness Index (WI), and liquid color scales (Pt-Co/APHA, Gardner).
• Dual standard system compliance: The CS-700 is built with a high-precision optical system, simultaneously meeting the strictest testing standards of both ASTM (ASTM D1003/D1044) and ISO (ISO 13468/ISO 14782) systems, as well as other international standards like JIS K 7136 and CIE 15.
• Unlimited open measurement chamber: A major plus of the device is its Open Sample Compartment design. This structure allows users to easily measure large-sized material panels, LCD/LED screens, and long rolled films without having to cut or destroy the integrity of the sample.
• Diverse sample analysis (Solid & Liquid): The device is not only optimized for solid samples (like plastic films, glass panels) but also integrates a dedicated cuvette holder to measure the transparency and analyze the color of liquid, solvent, or chemical samples.
• Smart operating system & Powerful storage: The device features a crisp color touch screen with a built-in intuitive operating system to automatically calibrate, calculate, and display results. Additionally, the device supports computer (PC) connection via a USB port, coming with dedicated software to export reports and synchronously manage QC data.
