AP20XE features a 20mm extended aperture and a stable end face, making it ideal for testing surface patterns and wet samples. Unlike ordinary portable colorimeters, which require the entire instrument to be placed into the object being tested—potentially causing contamination and damage—the AP20XE has a vertical design. This ensures only the aperture comes into contact with the sample, keeping the instrument body clean and preventing liquid or water from entering. This design is especially beneficial when measuring wet or difficult-to-handle materials.
Compared to standard portable colorimeters, the AP20XE offers a more practical and hygienic solution. Traditional instruments often risk contamination and mechanical damage when used in environments like food or medical testing. The AP20XE’s unique structure allows for safe and accurate measurements without compromising the integrity of the device.
Product Introduction
The AP20XE is a handheld colorimeter that follows the 45°/0° optical geometry standard. With a 20mm measuring aperture, it is the largest available in the domestic market. It also delivers high measurement accuracy, making it a top choice for professional color analysis. As part of the Labkits series, the AP20XE stands out with its advanced performance. Its color measurement results closely mimic human vision but with significantly higher precision. The 45°/0° optical design enables better simulation of the interaction between surface texture and color, offering more reliable results than traditional 8°/d instruments. By minimizing errors caused by surface patterns, the AP20XE improves color tolerance judgment, making it widely used across various industries.
QC Department
The AP20XE meets quality control requirements in multiple sectors, including plastics (PET, PE, PP, PTA, ABS, EVA particles and powder), color steel plates, coatings, textiles, fluorescent materials, denim, medicine, and food industries. It helps monitor color differences, enhance product competitiveness, reduce losses, and control production costs effectively.
Applications
The AP20XE is suitable for a wide range of industries, such as food, medicine, textiles, non-woven fabrics, denim, dyeing and printing, color steel plates, paper, plastic, chemicals, coatings, inks, and building materials.
