Novo-Shade Duo +
Overview
A versatile solution for reflectometry measurement
The Novo-Shade Duo+ is a portable 45/0° reflectometer that can be used to assess either the shade of a surface (a simple indication of colour based on lightness/darkness) or calculate the opacity of a coating, plastic film or paper sample. By measuring using 45/0°, the Novo- Shade Duo+ measures the colour of a surface and not the specular reflectance (gloss).
Shade
Measure the shade of a surface on a greyscale
Opacity
Measure substrate opacity/hiding power
Cleanliness
Measure substrate cleanliness
FEATURES
Pass/Fail
The Pass/Fail setup screen is used to enable/disable on-screen pass/fail indication and set min/max tolerancing for easy identification and reporting of non-confomances.
Software-free Rapid Data Transfer
USB connection to a computer instantly recognises the device as a drive location which facilitates the quick transfer of files using Windows File Explorer or similar software.
Power
20,000+ readings per charge. The instrument is rechargeable via USB/PC or mains.
Easy Batching (Shade Mode Only)
User definable batch names and batch sizes for quicker and more efficient reporting.
