The Objec­tive Stan­dard for
a Clear View

The haze-gard plus quan­ti­fies the visual per­cep­tion with objec­tive mea­sure­ment data. All essen­tial cri­te­ria for trans­parency can be mea­sured with one instru­ment:
– Total trans­mit­tance
– Trans­mis­sion haze
– See-through qual­ity

Doc­u­men­ta­tion of Mea­sure­ment Data

Trans­fer your mea­sure­ment results from the hazeme­ter to the easy-link soft­ware for fur­ther data pro­cess­ing in Excel®.

Quick Mea­sure­ment of
Vari­ety of Sam­ples

  • Open sam­ple area for small and large spec­i­mens
  • Foot switch and auto­matic mea­sure­ment allow
    hands-free oper­a­tion
  • Ready for mea­sure­ment with­out warm-up time
  • Auto­matic and long-term cal­i­bra­tion allow easy
    and fast oper­a­tion of the hazeme­ter
  • Oper­a­tion in English, Ger­man, French, Span­ish and Italian
    – switch­able

The Indus­try Stan­dard accord­ing
to ASTM

  • Ref­er­ence beam, self-diag­no­sis, and enclosed optics
    guar­an­tee accu­rate read­ings – any time

The mea­sure­ment of haze is used to deter­mine abra­sion resis­tance of trans­par­ent mate­rials. The Abra­sion Holder facil­i­tates posi­tion­ing of the abraded area in the mea­sure­ment beam.

 

Exact posi­tion­ing of films in the hazeme­ter with a holder guided in a pre­ci­sion track sys­tem.

Liquids are best mea­sured using cuvettes and the cuvette table.
