CHN SPEC TH-09 Haze Meter

CHN SPEC TH-09 Haze Meter

The CHN SPEC TH-09 Haze Meter (Economic Haze and Transmittance Meter) is an economical version streamlined to serve the most practical measurement tasks. This device is an ideal choice for factories and small to medium-sized manufacturing facilities that need a fast and stable tool to evaluate Haze and Transmittance without a massive investment in complex multi-parameter analysis systems.

Outstanding Features

• Optimized investment cost (Cost-effective): The TH-09 is one of the most accessible versions in CHN SPEC’s haze meter product line. The device helps businesses eliminate cost barriers, easily equipping their production lines with accurate optical control technology.
• Comprehensive basic measurement (0 – 100%): Despite being in the popular segment, the device still fully covers the measurement range from 0% to 100%. It effectively analyzes both core parameters, Haze and Total Transmittance, for transparent and translucent materials.
• Open Compartment design: Inheriting the advantages of high-end models, the TH-09 features an open measurement space. This smart design allows users to directly insert large glass panels, wide plastic sheets, or rolled films for measurement without the need for cutting, saving time and keeping the sample intact.
• Compliance with fundamental international standards: The device’s optical system is designed to comply with the most popular testing standards in the industry, such as ASTM D1003 and ISO 13468. This ensures consistent measurement results that can be used as reliable quality references during production and trading.
• Extremely simple operation (Plug & Play): The device aims for maximum convenience with an intuitive display interface. The measurement operation is simplified, allowing workers or technicians to quickly grasp how to operate it after a short training period and read the results displayed instantly.

Practical Applications

With the criteria of “Simple – Efficient – Economical”, the CHN SPEC TH-09 is a powerful assistant in the following environments:

• Packaging and plastic film production industry: Quick inspection of clarity and haze for nylon films (PE, PP), food cling wraps, and laminated packaging at small and medium-sized production facilities.
• Transparent plastic sheet industry: Evaluating the light transmission quality of light-transmitting plastic sheets, polycarbonate, and acrylic (PMMA) used in advertising and civil applications.
• Basic glass materials: Measuring the transparency of architectural glass and interior decorative glass that do not require complex spectral parameters.
• Education and basic testing: Used in school laboratories, vocational training facilities, or internal factory QC departments for incoming quality control (IQC) of raw materials.
