What are the Top Color Measurement Instruments for Glass Quality Grading?

For premier glass quality grading (color, transmittance, haze, coating uniformity, architectural/auto/optical glass), the top 3nh & industry-leading instruments are:


1. 3nh YS6060 Benchtop (Best Lab Accuracy)

  • d/8° integrating sphere, 360–780nm, UV adjustable

  • Dual mode: reflectance + transmission

  • ΔE*ab ≤ 0.015, IIA ≤ 0.2, haze measurement

  • Multi-apertures (Φ4/8/15/25.4mm)

  • Ideal: colored glass, coated glass, optical glass, lab R&D


2. 3nh TS8560 Benchtop (Ultra-High Precision)

  • d/8° sphere, SCI/SCE, UV control

  • ΔE*ab ≤ 0.01 (repeatability)

  • Large transmission compartment

    Best for: high-end architectural glass, Low-E coated glass



3. 3nh ST70 Portable (Production/Field)

  • d/8° (SCI/SCE), ΔE*ab ≤ 0.02

  • Handheld, fast, non-destructive

    Best for: line checks, incoming glass, on-site grading



4. 3nh NS810 Portable (Cost-Effective)

  • 45/0 geometry, ΔE*ab ≤ 0.04

  • Touchscreen, rugged

  • Best for: solid-color glass, routine QC

Short Recommendation

  • Top lab: YS6060

  • Ultra-precision: TS8560

  • Portable production: ST70

  • Economical QC: NS810

All measure color consistency, transmittance, haze & coating uniformity for glass quality grading.
