3. Detailed Product Description

Product Overview

The LMCR80F Visual Colorimeter is a visual colour measurement instrument based on internationally acknowledged colour scale units. It is designed to determine material colour through visual colour matching.

The instrument supports both transmittance and reflectance modes and uses an incandescent lamp whose illuminant approximates daylight. The viewing system is fully adjustable, allowing the operator to perform visual colour comparison under controlled instrument conditions. LMCR80F

The LMCR80F is designed for measurement of the colourity of liquid, gelatin, solid and powder samples. The catalogue specifically identifies applications involving grease, paint, plastic, jam, textile fabric, foodstuff, liquid chemicals and pharmaceuticals. LMCR80F

The catalogue also specifies a replaceable sample chamber liner and a replaceable light source, with two spare incandescent lamps included. LMCR80F
