Product Description

The KERRO KWM-1 Whiteness Meter is a portable photoelectric instrument for measuring the whiteness/brightness of solid and non-metallic materials. It uses a D65 light source with R457 blue-light whiteness measurement geometry of 45°/0°, with a measurement range of 0–199.0 and LCD display.

Product Overview

The KERRO KWM-1 Portable Whiteness Meter is designed for objective measurement of the whiteness or brightness of a wide variety of materials. It operates on the photoelectric effect and uses a D65 light source with R457 blue-light whiteness measurement under a 45°/0° illumination condition.

The instrument is particularly suitable for flat surfaces and non-metallic materials including paper, cardboard, textiles, plastics, ceramics, powders, chemicals, detergents, flour and other white or near-white materials.

The KWM-1 features a compact handheld design, LCD display, high-precision optical system and calibration standards to support repeatable measurements in laboratory and industrial environments.
