CHNSpec DH-10/12/13 Series Portable Haze Meters
Available Models
DH-10 – Essential Haze & Transmittance Measurement: Measures haze and transmittance using ASTM-based methods, with a 21 mm test aperture, 0.1% display resolution and 0.1 haze repeatability. Suitable for routine material inspection and basic quality control.
DH-12 – High-Repeatability Haze Meter: Supports ASTM and ISO haze/transmittance measurement, with 21 mm and 15 mm test apertures, 0.01% display resolution and 0.05 haze repeatability. Ideal for applications requiring more consistent measurements and multiple test methods.
DH-13 – Advanced Multi-Aperture Haze Meter: Provides ASTM and ISO haze/transmittance measurement with 21 mm, 15 mm and 12 mm test apertures, 0.01% display resolution and improved haze repeatability of 0.02. Designed for higher-precision testing and different sample sizes.
Key Features
- Haze & Transmittance Measurement: Evaluates optical haze and light transmission through transparent and translucent materials.
- ASTM & ISO Testing Options: DH-12 and DH-13 support ASTM and ISO haze/transmittance methods.
- High Measurement Repeatability: Haze repeatability of 0.1 (DH-10), 0.05 (DH-12) and 0.02 (DH-13).
- Multiple Aperture Options: Up to three test apertures, including 21 mm, 15 mm and 12 mm on DH-13.
- 0–100% Measurement Range: Suitable for a wide range of transparent and translucent samples.
- 2.8-inch Touchscreen: Convenient access to measurements and instrument settings.
- USB & PC Software: Supports measurement data transfer and Haze QC software.
- Portable Design: Compact construction for laboratory, production and quality control applications.
Reliable Haze and Light Transmittance Measurement
The CHNSpec DH Series is designed to evaluate the optical clarity and light transmission characteristics of transparent and translucent materials. With 0/d measurement geometry and CIE luminous function response, the instruments provide practical haze and transmittance testing for manufacturing inspection, material development and quality control.
Flexible Testing for Different Standards and Sample Sizes
The DH-10 provides essential ASTM-based measurement, while the DH-12 extends capability with ASTM and ISO methods and two measurement apertures. The DH-13 adds a third, smaller aperture and improved haze repeatability, making it suitable for a broader range of sample dimensions and demanding inspection requirements.
Convenient Operation and Data Management
A 2.8-inch touchscreen provides straightforward instrument operation, while USB connectivity and compatible Haze QC software support measurement data management. The compact design allows users to conduct optical testing in laboratories, manufacturing facilities and inspection environments.
