A haze meter measures the haze and transmittance of transparent or translucent materials, thereby evaluating the optical transparency and clarity of the material. SISCO recommends high-quality haze testers that are easy to operate and provide high measurement accuracy. It can determine the degree of light scattering that occurs during light transmission through the material, helping to identify whether the material will produce blurring, haziness, or distortion effects.
A digital haze meter is an instrument used to measure the optical properties of transparent or translucent materials, primarily used to detect the "haze" and "transmittance" of the material. Haze represents the degree of light scattering after light passes through the material; a higher value indicates a more hazy material.
Transmittance represents how much light the material allows to pass through. Portable haze meters are commonly used in industries such as plastic films, glass, display screen protective films, lampshades, and packaging materials to evaluate the clarity and optical quality of the material.
A digital haze meter is typically equipped with a stable light source. After passing through the sample, some of the light passes straight through, forming transmitted light, while the rest is scattered. The intensity of the scattered light and transmitted light are measured separately using an integrating sphere or a photodetector, and the haze and transmittance are calculated according to standards. In short, a haze meter determines the optical transparency quality by comparing the light distribution before and after the sample.
