Difference between NR20XE and Ordinary Portable Colorimeter


When testing products such as meat measurement by ordinary colorimeter, the whole instrument body has to be placed in the object which not only stains the instrument, but also will let the liquid/water enter the instrument directly and bring cross contamination. However, NR20XE is a vertical structure. When measuring, it can make sure only the aperture touches the object which will not stain the instrument body. 

 
NR20XE Precision Colorimeter
 
Product Introduction
 
3nh NR20XE is a handheld colorimeter based on 45°/0° optical geometry. Its measuring aperture is 20mm. NR20XE measuring aperture is the biggest one in domestic. Meanwhile, it also has high measuring precision. As a member of 3nh 45°/0° colorimeter, NR20XE is a colorimeter with unique performance. The color measurement results from NR20XE simulate human eyes but its accuracy is several times higher than human eyes. NR20XE 45°/0 ° optical geometry structures can reflect interactive effect between surface stripe and sample color more effectively than 8°/d colorimeter. NR20XE will eliminate the errors between human eyes and color tester caused by surface stripe when judging tolerance critical value of sample colors. Therefore, NR20XE is widely used in color field.
 
QC Department

NR20XE can meet quality control requirements in plastic (PET，PE，PP，PTA，ABS，EVA particles and powder), color steel plate, coating, textile, fluorescent material, denim, medicine and food industries, etc. It can help to control product color difference, improve product competitiveness, reduce enterprises’ loss and control production cost.
 
Applications

Food, medicine, textile, non-woven fabrics, denim, dyeing and printing, color steel plate, paper, plastic, chemical, coating, ink, building material industries, etc. Simple and intuitive operation color determination with the compact and ergonomic NR20XE is done with just one click, without the need for prior or basic knowledge.

A visual colorimeter is a type of colorimeter that uses the human eye to compare the color depth of a sample with that of a standard solution for semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis of substances. This method is commonly used for quick, rough evaluations in industries such as petroleum, transparent liquids, varnishes, chemicals and printing, as well as for visual color grading in quality control. Its working principle is to compare the sample with a standard and provide visual color measurement results, rather than relying on electronic sensors.

Visual Colorimeters vs. Photoelectric Colorimeters

Visual colorimeters rely on human eye observation, whereas photoelectric colorimeters use sensors to deliver higher precision, complete the measurement automatically through electronic circuits, less subjective color measurement and faster results. They are generally more suitable for rapid, on-line or portable color difference measurement.

Working principle of a photoelectric colorimeter

A light source emits light at specific wavelengths, which interacts with the object surface through reflection and transmission. The light is reflected or absorbed by the sample, and the reflected light or remaining transmitted light is received by a photoelectric sensor (photocell or photodiode). The instrument converts the light intensity signal into an electrical signal, thereby measuring the LAB color values of the sample.
