Difference between NR20XE and Ordinary Portable Colorimeter


When testing products such as meat measurement by ordinary colorimeter, the whole instrument body has to be placed in the object which not only stains the instrument, but also will let the liquid/water enter the instrument directly and bring cross contamination. However, NR20XE is a vertical structure. When measuring, it can make sure only the aperture touches the object which will not stain the instrument body. 

 
NR20XE Precision Colorimeter
 
Product Introduction
 
3nh NR20XE is a handheld colorimeter based on 45°/0° optical geometry. Its measuring aperture is 20mm. NR20XE measuring aperture is the biggest one in domestic. Meanwhile, it also has high measuring precision. As a member of 3nh 45°/0° colorimeter, NR20XE is a colorimeter with unique performance. The color measurement results from NR20XE simulate human eyes but its accuracy is several times higher than human eyes. NR20XE 45°/0 ° optical geometry structures can reflect interactive effect between surface stripe and sample color more effectively than 8°/d colorimeter. NR20XE will eliminate the errors between human eyes and color tester caused by surface stripe when judging tolerance critical value of sample colors. Therefore, NR20XE is widely used in color field.
 
QC Department

NR20XE can meet quality control requirements in plastic (PET，PE，PP，PTA，ABS，EVA particles and powder), color steel plate, coating, textile, fluorescent material, denim, medicine and food industries, etc. It can help to control product color difference, improve product competitiveness, reduce enterprises’ loss and control production cost.
 
Applications

Food, medicine, textile, non-woven fabrics, denim, dyeing and printing, color steel plate, paper, plastic, chemical, coating, ink, building material industries, etc. Simple and intuitive operation color determination with the compact and ergonomic NR20XE is done with just one click, without the need for prior or basic knowledge.

FAQs About NR20XE Colorimeter

D/8° and 45°/0° are two different illumination methods with distinct optical geometries. The D/8° illumination is suitable for general industries, and delivers better performance in color difference comparison and color measurement especially for high-gloss products. For the packaging and printing industry, the 45°/0° illumination is recommended.

D/8° (Diffuse / 8° viewing)

Recommended for:

  • Plastic, paint, ink, ceramic, textile, coating

  • Samples with metallic luster, pearlescent, glitter, or texture

  • Situations requiring consistent data with laboratory spectrophotometers

  • Applications needing SCI (including specular reflection) / SCE (excluding specular reflection) switching


45°/0° (45° annular illumination / 0° viewing)

Recommended for:

  • Printing, packaging, paper, ink, matte non-metallic materials

  • Products focusing on human eye direct visual matching

  • Standard color matching in printing & packaging industry


Simple Selection Guide

  • With metallic/pearlescent/glitter effect → choose D/8°

  • Printing, paper, packaging, matte products → choose 45°/0°

  • Want universal use for multiple materials → choose D/8°


The repeatability is an important parameter for the accuracy of the colorimeter. Threenh Technology portable colorimeter for color measurements tandard deviation ΔE*ab is within 0.03 (Measurement condition: the average value of 30 measurements on the white board at an interval of 3s after calibration). Each colorimeter can pass the qualified inspection before leaving the factory to ensure it conforms to the standard of China Metrology Institute.

Now our testing machines have been sold to more than 80 countries, like USA, Canada, Russia,UK, Italy, Germany, European , India, Pakistan, Philippine, Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand , Vietnam, Korea,Saudi Arabia,Brazil...and so on. We sell to the global market.

Our professional team will give you the best suggestion as long as you tell us what kind of test you need to do and the required specification.


Colors look different under various lights mainly because of metamerism—a phenomenon where two colors that match under one light source fail to match under another, caused by differences in the spectral composition of light.

object_Colors_look_different_under_various_lights1

Different lighting varies the color perception of objects. Warm light, like that from incandescent bulbs, tends to make colors more yellow, while daylight presents a bluish tint. Our color vision system plays a compensating role using a mechanism called color constancy.

Every light source emits light with a unique "spectral fingerprint" (i.e., the range and intensity of wavelengths it contains). This directly affects how an object’s surface reflects light and how our eyes perceive its color.
