Features

Measuring Functions and Indices

The Elcometer 6085 provides absolute and difference measurements for the following colourmetric systems. These values can be obtained from any of the nine illuminants with 2 or 10 observer angle: L*a*b*, DL*Da*Db*, L *C*h, DL*DC*DH*, DE*ab, DECMC, DE CIE94 and XYZ. Whiteness and Yellowness per ASTM E 313-98.

Pass/Fail Mode

The instrument stores up to 1000 standards with tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement. A simplified green tick shown on screen shows a straight forward pass indication or a red cross to show a failed. Results are shown at a glance showing detailed colour comparison data for analyst.

Quick Colour Compare

A quick measurement can be taken to compare two colours. This allows the operator to take quality control readings in a time efficient manner without having to create tolerances or store data.

The Sphere

The Elcometer 6085s diffusing sphere is made of Spectalon , a durable, highly reflective material designed to perform in a rigorous production environment. The diffusing material prevents degradation due to the flaking and chipping of the sphere wall material.

Opacity, Colour Strength and Shade Sorting

The instrument can measure opacity as well as three colour-strength options: chromatic, apparent and tri-stimulus calculations. The Elcometer 6085 also performs 555 shade sorting. This is an important consideration in the colour quality control of manufactured products involving plastics, painted or textile materials.

Texture and Gloss Influence

To determine the influence of the specular component, the 6085 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular - included (colour) and specular-excluded (appearance).

Precision Measurement and Reliability

Achieve accurate and consistent color assessments with this advanced sphere spectrophotometer. Using a D/8 illumination system, it captures reflectance data over a broad wavelength range. The instrument ensures high measurement precision with a resolution of up to 0.01 and accuracy of E*ab0.02, supporting rigorous quality control across many sectors.

Ease of Use and Efficient Data Handling

Designed for user convenience, the spectrophotometer provides both button and touch controls on a vibrant 2.8-inch TFT display. Automatic calibration and a robust rechargeable battery make it ideal for busy laboratory or field environments. Store up to 10,000 measurements, and export data via USB or optional Bluetooth for streamlined workflow integration.

FAQs of Sphere Spectrophotometer:

Q: How does the Sphere Spectrophotometer perform color measurement?

A: The spectrophotometer employs a D/8 illumination/observation geometry with a diffused LED light source. It measures reflectance within the 400-700 nm range at 10 nm intervals, ensuring accurate color analysis suitable for scientific and industrial applications.

Q: What types of calibration methods are available for this device?

A: This spectrophotometer supports both automatic and manual calibration, providing flexibility and consistent accuracy. Users can easily calibrate the device for enhanced measurement reliability in diverse environments.

Q: When should I use Bluetooth versus USB for data output?

A: Bluetooth output is ideal for wireless data transfer to compatible devices, promoting convenience in mobile workflows. USB should be used for fast, secure data transmission directly to computers or when Bluetooth is not available.

Q: Where can this spectrophotometer be utilized effectively?

A: The device is well-suited for scientific laboratories, industrial quality control, paint and textile evaluation, and other environments requiring meticulous color measurement. Its portable design and durable build enable use in both indoor and field settings.

Q: What is the process for measuring a specimen with this equipment?

A: Place a specimen (minimum diameter 10 mm for standard aperture) on the measurement port, select the relevant measurement mode, and initiate assessment via the touchscreen or button. The device provides fast, accurate results within 1.5 seconds.

Q: How much data can be stored and how secure is the data management?

A: Up to 10,000 sets of measurements can be stored in the devices memory. Data can be exported safely through USB or Bluetooth, ensuring seamless integration into digital records or quality control systems.

Q: What benefits does the SCI/SCE measurement capability offer?

A: The SCI (Specular Component Included) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded) modes allow users to evaluate surface properties more comprehensively, enhancing the utility of the spectrophotometer for detailed color and gloss assessments.
