Color analysis colorimeter PCE-CSM 10

for materials analysisportable

Overview
The Colorimeter PCE-CSM 10 is a portable instrument for colour measurement and quality control in industrial applications. It supports multiple colour spaces, offers black-and-white calibration and stores reference values and samples for later comparison. PC software is included and data transfer is via USB.

Description
The PCE-CSM 10 is designed for on-site and laboratory colour quality checks. It features selectable colour spaces (CIE L*A*B, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, HunterLAB), a 3.5" capacitive touch screen for intuitive operation and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. After a measurement, readings can be saved as reference values (up to 1,000) or as samples (up to 15,000) for batch comparison and PASS/FAIL evaluation. Measurement data can be exported to a PC using the included software via USB.
