•   

Versatile. Use for lab, plant or field operation  

•   

Easy to Read. Large, graphical LCD display

•

   Quick Color Compare. Permits quick measurement and comparison of two colors 

without need to create tolerances or store data

 

•   

Special PROJECT Mode. Multiple color standards can be collected under an

  identified project as part of corporate color standards programs

 

•   

Pass/Fail Mode. Up to 1,024 standards with tolerances can be stored for easy

  pass/fail measurement 

•

   Wide Range of Aperture Sizes. To accommodate various measurement areas; 

available in 4mm, 8mm, and 14mm aperatures

 
•   

Inter-Instrument Agreement. Superior agreement capabilities ensures 

  integrity of multiple-instrument color control  

 

•   

Measuring Functions and Indices. Absolute and difference measurements are 
obtained for the following colorimetric systems, including: L*a*b*, 

∆L*∆a*∆b•, 

L*c*h˚, 

∆L•∆C*∆H*, ∆E*

∆E

CMC

, 

∆E CIE94, XYZ, Whiteness and Yellowness 

per ASTM E313-98

•   

Opacity, Color Strength and Shade Sorting. Device measures opacity, color

  strength in chromatic, apparent, and tri-stimulus calculations, and 555 shade 
  sorting for precise color control of products involving plastic, painted, or textile
  materials

•   

Texture and Gloss Influence. To determine the influence of the specular com-
ponent, the SP62 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular-included 
(color) and specular-excluded (appearance)

•   

User-Friendly Ergonomics. A wrist strap and tactile side grips facilitate 

  holding and a flip back target shoe adds flexibility

•   

Rechargeable Battery. Allows for remote use
