Haze and Light Transmission Meter for PET Bottles

Hazemeter that measures percent haze and luminous transmittance through the sidewall of clear PET bottles. Used by bottlers to verify clarity of water and juice bottles and to detect over-crystallised or contaminated resin.

Specification

Light from a standard source passes through a flat section of bottle wall or a cut plaque into an integrating sphere, and haze and transmission are displayed in percent. The measurement follows the classic ASTM D1003 procedure. It provides a quantitative check of visual quality.

Features

• Integrating sphere with halogen or LED illuminant C
• Reads haze and total transmittance simultaneously
• Curved bottle wall holder and flat sample port
• Auto zero and calibration against standard
• Built-in memory and USB output
