Key Features

• Measuring Functions and Indices
  The Elcometer SP62 provides absolute and difference measurements for the following colourmetric systems. These values can be obtained from any of the nine illuminants with 2° or 10° observer angle: CIE XYZ, CIE, Yxy, L *a*b*, Hunter LAB, CIE L*c*h° (calculated from ab or uv space), CMC and CIE94. Whiteness and Yellowness in accordance with ASTM E313-98, Matamerism index and DIN 617.
• Pass/Fail Mode
  The Elcometer SP62 stores up to 1.024 standards with tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement. A red/green LED indicator and the LCD display provide visual confirmation of results. A tone also sounds to indicate a fail result and measurement completion.
• Special PROJECTS Modes
  Multiple colour standards can be collected under an identified PROJECT, a feature that supports corporate standards programmes.
• Quick Colour Compare
  An operator can take a quick measurement and compare two colours. This allows the operator to take quality control readings in a time efficient manner without having to create tolerances or store data.
• The Sphere
  The Elcometer SP62’s diffusing sphere is made of Spectalon®, a durable, highly reflective material designed to perform in a rigorous production environment. The diffusing material prevents degradation due to the flaking and chipping of the sphere wall material.
• Opacity, Colour Strength and Shade Sorting
  The instrument can measure opacity as well as three colour-strength options: chromatic, apparent and tri-stimulus calculations. The Elcometer SP62 also performs 555 shade sorting. This is an important consideration in the colour quality control of manufactured products involving plastics, painted or textile materials.
• Texture and Gloss influence
  To determine the influence of the specular component, the Elcometer SP62 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular-included (colour) and specular-excluded (appearance).
• User- friendly Ergonomics
  In addition to on-board programs to assist the operator in the data collection process, the instrument itself is highly user-friendly. It is compact and lightweight with a wrist strap and the tactile side grips make it easy to hold. Read-outs are large and easy to see. A rechargeable battery pack allows extended operation of the instrument.
