The YT1020 optical transmittance meter is a high-precision handheld optical transmittance meter developed by 3nh, designed for fast and accurate measurement of the transmittance of transparent materials. Using four types of light sources, it can measure visible light at 380nm-760nm, infrared peak wavelengths at 940nm and 1400nm, and the entire infrared band. Equipped with a highly sensitive and responsive silicon photodiode as the sensor, it is calibrated with professional algorithms to ensure the measurement speed, accuracy, stability, and consistency of the instrument.


The optical transmittance meter YT1020 is fast and convenient for measurement. It automatically calibrates when turned on, and the test material can be placed in the test slot to obtain test data in 0.5 seconds. Widely used in industries such as glass and film, for measuring parameters such as transmittance and shading coefficient of transparent materials.


Characteristics of transmittance meter YT1020

High Precision light transmittance Measurement

The resolution is as high as 0.10%, and the measurement accuracy is better than ± 1.5% (for colorless and uniformly transparent substances). After testing with a standard sample at the factory, the accuracy can reach ± 1%, ensuring the reliability of the measurement results.

FAQs About Haze Meters

To answer this question, you first need to clarify your specific needs: 

  • Is it for simple color quality control (QC)?

  • To coordinate with supply chain color management?

  • To monitor on-line color stability?

  • Do you require computer color matching or production color correction?

  • What is your budget?

  • Systematic supervision and evaluation of color performance in dyed products?

If you aren’t fully clear about your requirements at the initial stage, our color management engineers are ready to communicate with you. We will recommend solutions tailored to your needs. When conditions permit, we can provide prototype demonstrations and trial testing to ensure the instrument meets your practical application requirements.

The number of reflected light is a measure assigned by a gloss meter as a gloss unit (GU). It is a normalized quantity in which 100 GU is normally a perfect reflection at 60°, and 0° GU is a full diffusion.

Colorimetry is a method that applies color intensity to ascertain the chemical concentrations. It is founded on Beer-Lambert Law, whereby the absorbance at a given wavelength is proportional to the concentration. It is popular in environmental and biochemical testing.

Techniques of measuring color are visual color comparison, colorimetry (with colorimeters) and spectrophotometry (measuring spectral reflectance), and image analysis. Both techniques measure the reflection or absorption of light by materials and are commonly quantified. Therefore standardized in color spaces such as CIELAB or RGB.

Gloss is the general reflectivity of a surface, which encompasses a variety of degrees. One particular type of finish is high gloss, which has the maximum shine and reflectance. It increases the richness but emphasizes flaws as compared to satin or matte.
