ColorLite sph870/900 for the measurement of liquids
Portable Spectrophotometer
ColorLite sph870/sph900
with accessories for measuring liquids
When measuring liquids we differentiate according to the type of sample.
Opaque liquids
Opaque liquids are solutions where light is not transmitted but absorbed or reflected off the surface.
Transparent liquids
Transparent liquids are clear solutions where light is transmitted without being reflected. Light being tranmittted through a clear liquid will interact dependent of the spectral properties.
Translucent liquids
Translucent liquids are solutions where light is partly transmitted and partly diffusely reflected. The amount of light transmitted is dependent on the path of the light.
For every sample type ColorLite offers the perfect equipment for colour measurement. We will be happy to support you.
Direct colour measurement of liquids with dipstick
Spectrophotometer sph870/900 with special probe head for reflection and transmission measurement. IP67 class
Description
The ColorLite sph900 has a trend-setting O-LED colour display and an intelligent interface that automatically detects connected accessories. This makes the measuring system very flexible and suitable for a large number of measuring applications. By using the integrating sphere adapter MA35 it is possible to measure both standard measuring geometries – 45°/0° and d/8° – with only one spectrophotometer. The sph900 spectrophotometer was developed by using only high quality components and complies with all current ASTM and DIN standards.
