Product Details
The measurement is based on Taylor’s law with an integrating sphere. A large sample surface is selected to reduce measurement instabilities caused by the inhomogeneity of a sample (e.g. different grain sizes).
Only two standards of the Brunswick color type or ceramic standards, preferably 0 and 6, are necessary to calibrate the instrument. Adjustments can be made using the keyboard. The Saccharoflex 2020 allows measurements up to 19.99 color units (CU) without further adjustments.
