Portable Whiteness Indicator

The portable whiteness meter illuminates the sample surface with a built-in light source, measures the intensity of reflected light, and calculates the value based on standard whiteness formulas. It is used for on-site rapid assessment of the whiteness of materials such as paper and plastics, guiding production adjustments.
Selection
When selecting, focus on matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, ensuring the calibration plate configuration is complete, and supporting industry-standard whiteness indices. Consider environmental light shielding design, battery life that meets on-site detection frequency requirements, and a simple, easy-to-read operating interface.
