The Elcometer 6075/1 SP60 is an affordable sphere spectrophotometer, designed to give fast, precise and accurate colour measurement information on materials ranging from paper and paint to plastics and textiles.

• Lightweight, compact, portable instrument
• Diffuse/8° sphere optical geometry
• Fixed 8mm aperture
• Large, easy-to-read graphical LCD display
• Opacity and colour strength measurement
• Simultaneous measurement of both specular component included and specular component excluded
• Rugged construction
• Rechargeable battery for remote use

Key Features

• Measuring Functions and Indices
  The Elcometer SP60 provides absolute and difference measurements for the following colourmetric systems. These values can be obtained from any of the nine illuminants with 2° or 10° observer angle: L*a*b*, DL*Da*Db*, L *C*h°, DL*DC*DH*, DE*ab, DECMC, DE CIE94 and XYZ. Whiteness and Yellowness per ASTM E 313-98.
• Pass/Fail Mode
  The instrument stores up to 1024 standards with tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement. A red/green LED indicator and the LCD display provide visual confirmation of results. A tone also sounds to indicate a fail result and measurement completion.
• Quick Colour Compare
  A quick measurement can be taken to compare two colours. This allows the operator to take quality control readings in a time efficient manner without having to create tolerances or store data.
• The Sphere
  The Elcometer SP60’s diffusing sphere is made of Spectalon®, a durable, highly reflective material designed to perform in a rigorous production environment. The diffusing material prevents degradation due to the flaking and chipping of the sphere wall material.
• Opacity, Colour Strength and Shade Sorting
  The instrument can measure opacity as well as three colour-strength options: chromatic, apparent and tri-stimulus calculations. The Elcometer SP60 also performs 555 shade sorting. This is an important consideration in the colour quality control of manufactured products involving plastics, painted or textile materials.
• Texture and Gloss influence
  To determine the influence of the specular component, the SP60 allows simultaneous measurement of both specular - included (colour) and specular-excluded (appearance)
• User friendly Ergonomics
  In addition to on-board programmes to assist the operator in the measurement process, the instrument itself is highly user -friendly. It is compact and lightweight with a wrist strap and the tactile side grips make it easy to hold. Read-outs are large and easy to see. A rechargeable battery pack allows extended operation of the instrument.
