Haze Meter

Model : FHM 2000

A Haze Meter is an advanced optical instrument designed to measure the haze and light transmittance of transparent and translucent materials with exceptional accuracy. Haze caused by surface imperfections, internal scattering, or contaminants—can significantly affect the visual quality and functionality of a product. A haze meter objectively quantifies this haziness, providing clear numerical data that manufacturers rely on for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

What is a Haze Meter?

A Haze Meter is a precision instrument used to measure the amount of light scattered or diffused as it passes through a transparent or translucent material. In simple terms, it tells you how “cloudy,” “foggy,” or “hazy” a surface or film appears. Industries rely on haze meters to ensure the clarity, transparency, and visual quality of products such as plastics, glass, packaging films, automotive parts, and coatings. By delivering clear, objective haze and transmittance values, a haze meter helps maintain product consistency and compliance with international quality standards.

How Does a Haze Meter Work?

A haze meter works by shining a controlled beam of light onto a sample and analyzing how the light behaves after passing through it. Here's the basic process:

Light Source: The device projects a uniform beam of light onto the material.
Detection System: Sensors measure both the transmitted light (light passing straight through) and the scattered light (light diffused at various angles).
Calculation: The instrument calculates haze percentage based on the ratio of scattered light to total transmitted light.
Output: Results are displayed instantly as haze value, total transmittance, and clarity level.

Benefits of a Haze Meter

Using a haze meter offers several valuable advantages:

Improved Product Quality: Ensures clarity and visual uniformity for transparent materials.
Reliable Quality Control: Provides consistent, repeatable measurements for QC processes.
Compliance with Standards: Supports ISO, ASTM, and international haze testing methods.
Reduced Production Errors: Detects defects such as surface roughness, contamination, or material inconsistencies early.
Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Guarantees that final products look clean, clear, and high-quality.
Versatile Testing: Suitable for solid, liquid, curved, or flexible materials depending on the model.

Applications

Haze meters are used across a wide range of industries, including:

Plastics & Polymers: Sheets, films, lenses, containers, and molded parts.
Packaging Industry: Food packaging films, bottles, and transparent wrappers.
Glass Manufacturing: Automotive glass, architectural glass, and specialty coatings.
Automotive & Aerospace: Headlights, windshields, dashboards, and optical components.
Electronics & Displays: Smartphone screens, LED panels, and protective films.
Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Plastic bottles, blister packs, and transparent tubes.
Paints & Coatings: Clear coats, varnishes, and protective surface layers.
