Large 20 mm Measurement Aperture
Covers a larger sampling area and suits textured, granular or unevenly colored samples, helping reduce variation from single-point sampling.
High Precision Colorimeter NR20XE
The NR20XE is a high-precision 45°/0° colorimeter with a large 20 mm aperture for measuring textured, uneven and selected damp surfaces. It supports fast color comparison and CIE Lab, XYZ and ΔE evaluation for incoming inspection, in-process checks and shipment quality control. Verify sample material, surface condition, moisture, positioning and measurement workflow before selection.
NR20XE High-Precision Colorimeter | 20 mm Large Aperture for Textured and Damp Samples
The NR20XE is a 45°/0° upright colorimeter with a Φ20 mm aperture for comparing samples with texture, uneven color distribution or a larger sampling area. Use it for incoming inspection, in-process checks, routine quality control and pre-shipment color review. Its upright design may be evaluated for damp surfaces or selected liquid-related applications. Confirm sample material, container, surface condition, moisture, positioning and quality-control workflow before use.
Key Features
Designed for large-area sampling, fast color comparison, on-site quality checks and computer-based color data management.
Upright Structure
Depending on sample conditions, evaluate damp-surface or liquid-related measurement. Confirm the container, liquid-surface stability and measurement setup first.
Illumination and Crosshair Positioning
Helps align the instrument with the measurement point for fixed-location checks, repeat measurements and quick on-site decisions.
Optical Path and Dynamic Integration Time
The 3nh optical-path and dynamic-integration design can be considered when assessing stability and repeatability; actual results depend on the sample and method.
Ring Illumination
Useful to evaluate directional, polarized or surface-reflective materials and help limit the effect of measurement angle.
45°/0° Measurement Geometry
Approximates common visual observation and supports surface color comparison with CIE Lab and ΔE evaluation.
Rechargeable Lithium Battery
Supports mobile inspection, field measurement and production-line sampling while reducing disposable battery replacement.
CQCS3 Color Quality Management Software
Connect to a computer for data review, quality records and color-difference analysis. Functions depend on software version and workflow.
Application Evaluation
Textured and Rough Surfaces
Compare color across samples with patterns, granules, fibers or uneven color distribution using a large aperture.
Damp or Special Samples
Evaluate damp surfaces or liquid-related measurement by sample conditions; confirm how the sample will be held and measured.
On-Site Quality Inspection
Use for incoming inspection, in-process sampling, batch comparison and pre-shipment color checks.
Computer-Based Data Management
Use CQCS3 to review data and maintain quality records as part of a color-management workflow.
Selection and Use Notes
The NR20XE is intended for 20 mm large-aperture color comparison, textured or damp surfaces and routine quality control. For glossy, transparent, translucent, curved or highly uneven samples, first confirm aperture, sampling position, sample fixture, averaging method and internal acceptance criteria. If full spectral data, multiple illuminants, SCI/SCE switching or supply-chain color traceability is required, consider a handheld spectrophotometer.
NR20XE Technical Specifications
Use these specifications as a reference when evaluating, purchasing and integrating the NR20XE high-precision colorimeter into routine quality control. It uses 45/0 measurement geometry and a large Φ20 mm aperture for larger samples, textured or damp surfaces, and color comparison. Confirm the sample material, surface condition, measurement area, color uniformity and quality-control workflow before implementation.
