Zero calibration of a hazemeter is a critical pre-measurement procedure to ensure the instrument’s accuracy by resetting its baseline to "zero" when no haze or light attenuation is present.

1. Align the hazemeter’s measurement window with air or a black background, ensuring no objects block the window.

2. Press the hazemeter’s zero calibration button and wait for the instrument to complete automatic calibration. At this point, the instrument should display a zero haze value and a zero light transmittance value.

3. Observe the instrument’s display to confirm the zero calibration result stabilizes near zero. If the zero calibration is inaccurate, repeat the above steps multiple times until the displayed haze and light transmittance values stabilize near zero.

Perform 0-degree calibration before testing, this eliminates inherent instrument drift, environmental interference, or residual signal errors, ensuring subsequent measurements of transparent/translucent samples (e.g., plastic films，pvc, glass, coating, displays and cosmetic packaging) are reliable. Correct for minor instrument deviations caused by long-term use, temperature changes, or power fluctuations.

Use our 3nh company approved light. Replace all of the same type together and recalibrate to keep consistent color rendering. We usually do not recommend customers to modify it themselves, as this can affect the accuracy of the color and cause unnecessary losses

Usually you will find haze and transmittance standards of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, & JIS K7105.

The gloss meter is used to measure gloss at typical angles (typically 20°, 60°, or 85°). The instrument illuminates the material and measures the amount of light reflected and states the outcome in gloss units (GU), which is related to perceived brilliance.

A haze meter should be calibrated every 6 months, or more frequently if used for certain quality control processes.

Always a pre-production sample before mass production; Always final Inspection before shipment; 

The automotive, aerospace, metal finishing, marine, construction, and manufacturing industries utilize and rely on coating thickness gauges the most. They ensure that coatings are within the expected criteria for functionality, safety, and durability.

At most of time, we have Spectrophotometer stock in the factory. Generally it is 1-3 working days after the payment confirmed. After shipped, we will email you the tracking number. You can check the shipping status of your order on the website. If you are in urgent need, we can consider making special arrangement for you.

Now our testing machines have been sold to more than 80 countries, like USA, Canada, Russia,UK, Italy, Germany, European , India, Pakistan, Philippine, Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand , Vietnam, Korea,Saudi Arabia,Brazil...and so on. We sell to the global market.

To quantify color change, take the original L*a*b* values of a sample, and reread after exposure or processing. Compute the difference as 1/2(Emut1 Emut2). The larger the value of ΔE, the more obvious the change of color is, which can be used in quality or stability testing.
