View resource →Product overview
The Lovibond® PFXi 880, 950 and 995 Series comprises high-precision spectrophotometric colorimeters with extended path length and an optional integrated heater. Sixteen interference filters provide industry colour scales, CIE values and spectral data, while the chamber accommodates path lengths up to 153 mm (6 inches) for samples ranging from pale transparent liquids to oils, fats, fuels, waxes and sugar solutions.
Key features
- Sixteen interference filters across 420–710 nm for high-precision spectral data.
- Extended chamber for path lengths up to 153 mm (6 inches), supporting pale samples and long-path colour scales.
- With the optional integrated heater, solidifying samples should be maintained approximately 10 °C above their solidification point.
- Single-key automatic baseline calibration with measurement in less than 30 seconds.
- Industry colour scales, CIE values, spectral data and off-hue analysis, with scale upgrades available.
- USB, LAN and RS-232 interfaces plus Windows colour-control software for storage, analysis and instrument control.
- Removable steel sample chamber and chemically resistant steel housing for laboratory and production use.
