NR10QC Entry-Level Single-Aperture Colorimeter (Φ6 mm)
NR10QC Entry-Level Single-Aperture Colorimeter for Basic Quality-Control Inspections
NR10QC colorimeter is designed for basic quality-control applications that need quick comparison of color differences between a standard and a sample. It supports CIE Lab, CIE XYZ, and ΔE color evaluation. Its handheld design is convenient for on-site measurements, incoming inspection, in-process checks, pre-shipment inspection, and routine color verification.
NR10QC features a rechargeable lithium battery, built-in white-board parameters, and quick measurement after startup. It suits color-checking tasks that call for a simple workflow and an accessible entry point. Confirm product suitability according to sample material, surface condition, measurement area, color uniformity, and your quality-control process.
NR10QC Colorimeter Features
For quick color-difference comparison, basic quality-control inspections, and portable on-site measurements.
Cost-Effective Entry-Level Choice
A practical option for quality-control, production, and purchasing teams establishing a basic color-comparison workflow and evaluating an entry-level colorimeter.
Short-Term Repeatability ΔE≤0.03
The source data states short-term repeatability of ΔE≤0.03. This can support routine color comparison and batch checks. Actual performance depends on sample conditions and operating procedures.
Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The rechargeable lithium battery supports field inspections, portable measurements, and production-line sampling, reducing the need to repeatedly purchase and replace disposable batteries.
Handheld Design
The handheld body is flexible across measurement settings, including laboratories, production lines, warehouses, supplier acceptance checks, and quick customer-site inspections.
Built-In White-Board Parameters
Built-in white-board parameters simplify routine operation. If your organization follows a fixed quality-control SOP, establish pre-measurement checks and instrument-management procedures accordingly.
Measure Right After Startup
The straightforward workflow helps on-site users get started quickly and obtain color-difference data with less effort during routine quality control.
NR10QC Application Scenarios
Basic Quality-Control Inspections
Quickly compare a standard with a sample and establish a simple quality-control decision process.
Incoming Inspection
Perform preliminary color comparisons on incoming raw materials, packaging, parts, or samples.
In-Process Sampling
Conduct scheduled production-line sampling, identify batch differences, and track color changes during production.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Check color differences between finished goods and the standard sample as part of a basic pre-shipment review.
Selection and Use Notes
NR10QC is suited to entry-level, rapid color comparison and basic quality-control inspections. For samples with high gloss, rough texture, uneven color, transparency, translucency, or curved surfaces, first confirm the measurement aperture, sampling locations, sample-fixture method, averaging method, and internal acceptance criteria. If your requirements include full spectral data, multi-illuminant analysis, SCI/SCE switching, or supply-chain color traceability, consider a handheld spectrophotometer.
