FAQs of Opacity Meter:

Q: How is the opacity meter calibrated for accurate results?

A: The opacity meter offers both automatic and manual calibration modes, allowing users to meet industry standards such as IS 11870 and ISO 2471 with ease. This ensures consistent and accurate measurements across different testing sessions.

Q: What is the typical process for using the opacity meter in a laboratory setting?

A: To use the device, insert a single cut sample (up to 50 mm width) into the non-slip sample holder, select the desired calibration mode, and initiate the test using digital touch controls. Results are displayed on the LCD and can be stored for future reference.

Q: When should I use the automatic calibration feature?

A: Automatic calibration is recommended for routine operations or when testing multiple specimens, as it provides rapid setup and minimizes user intervention, supporting efficiency in quality control environments.

Q: Where can the test results be stored and accessed?

A: The Opacity Meter includes in-built memory storage, allowing users to save results directly on the device. These records can be accessed later for reference or transferred using the optional USB/RS232 interface.

Q: What is the benefit of the high-intensity LED light source in this instrument?

A: The high-intensity LED light source ensures stable and uniform illumination, leading to accurate and reproducible opacity measurements. It enhances the reliability of results and reduces maintenance requirements compared to conventional lamps.

Q: How does the design ensure safety and durability during operation?

A: Constructed from stainless steel and ABS plastic with a table-top mounting design, the meter provides a stable and robust testing platform. Non-slip grips on the sample holder further ensure that specimens are securely held, minimizing operational risk.
