Lovibond Tintometer

Description:
Advance from Visual (subjective) to Electronic (objective) Colour Measurement Immediate & Accurate – Straight from the Box Guaranteed Agreement with International Standards Display Results with On-Screen Colour and Numerical Options Digital, Portable, Push-Button Technology

The Lovibond  EComparator Series provides an easy way to transition from
subjective visual measurement to a non-subjective, accurate electronic
measurement. Colour graders who are used to the traditional comparator series sometimes find the upgrade or transition to an electronic system daunting. The assurance of relying on physical colour difference is diminished.

With the EComparator Series, viewers can view the colour difference:
On-Screen Colour EC 2000 Two Field View
On-Screen Numerical Display
Touch screen technology makes the EComparator Series easily  instinctive menus on screen. Users can set language*, date and time, view preferences and create projects with individual tolerance settings. An on-screen warning system of:

Within Tolerance = Green;
Outside Tolerance = Red;
On Border of Tolerance = Amber
provides the user with immediate information on the sample.
EC 3000 Three Field View The user friendly ergonomics and intuitive interface guarantee new users can be quickly trained and easily supported. Large data storage (> 20,000 readings), USB connectivity ensures readings can be stored and shared easily and quickly. Flexibility is further enhanced with software packages for Windows with multiple language* support on-screen.

* Supported Languages:
English : French : German : Spanish : Italian : Chinese : Japanese : Russian
Lovibond accuracy and efficiency is apparent throughout. EComparators are supplied with Certified Glass and Liquid Reference Standards enabling quick and simple validation. The instruments are equipped with an integrated light shield to protect the sample from ambient light and a flexible path length and cell choice (plastic or glass) for flexibility of application. With robust casing and a small laboratory footprint, the EComparator Series is the ideal solution for users wishing to experience the benefits of immediate, accurate, electronic readings: the best of both worlds.

PLATINUM-COBALT/HAZEN/APHA COLOUR (ASTM D 1209):
Often referred to as Pt-Co, Platinum-Cobalt, Hazen or APHA Colour – all terms are interchangeable and equally valid. Used to measure clear to dark amber liquids. Originally defined by specified dilutions: range from 0 at the light end of the scale to 500 at the darkest. Used extensively in the water industry but also for clear oils, chemicals and petrochemicals such as glycerine, plasticisers,solvents, carbon tetrachloride and petroleum spirits.

GARDNER COLOUR (ASTM D 1544, ASTM D 6166, AOCS Td 1a, MS 817 Part 10)
Single number, one dimensional, colour scale for grading the colour of similarly coloured liquids The scale ranges from a pale yellow to a red in shade and is described in terms of the values 1-18.Used to measure colour of resins, varnishes, lacquers, drying oils, fatty acids, lecithins, sunflower oil and linseed oil.
SAYBOLT COLOUR (ASTM D 156, ASTM D6045):
The Saybolt Colour scale is used for grading light coloured petroleum products The colour range of the Saybolt-scale is similar to that of the Platinum-Cobalt/Hazen/APHA Colour (ASTM D 1209) scale and is therefore employed for the measurement of water-clear, colourless to slightly yellowish products. The faintest coloration is Saybolt-colour number +30, the strongest evaluable Saybolt coloration value is -16. Popular for aviation fuels, kerosene, naphthas, white mineral oils, hydrocarbon solvents and petroleum waxes.
