Portable Optical DensitoMeter

Portable optical densitometers directly measure density by assessing the absorption or reflection of light at specific wavelengths by materials. They are used in the coatings, inks, and printing industries for on-site inspection of ink layer thickness and color concentration, as well as in the plastics and paper industries to monitor material opacity. The handheld design is ideal for rapid sampling on production lines.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to whether the measurement range covers the density values of the samples, and ensure that the repeatability error is less than 0.02D. Prioritize models with automatic calibration functions and verify compliance with industry standards such as ISO14981. Consider whether the probe size matches the area to be measured, and ensure that the lithium battery life meets the requirements for on-site testing.
