964-Portable 0/45 Spectrophotometer

Measurement Functions and Indices
The 964 Portable 0/45 Spectrophotometer provides absolute and difference values for the following colorimetric systems, which can be expressed using nine light sources and either the 2° or 10° standard observer: CIE XYZ, CIE Yxy, CIE LAB, Hunter LAB, CIE LCH, CMC and CIE94, whiteness and yellowness per ASTM E313-98, metamerism index, and DIN 6172.

Special "Job" and "Project" Modes
Users can utilize pre-programmed measurement job routines stored in the instrument, which can be downloaded to the 964 to perform specific measurements as guided by the LCD screen. The project function also allows users to categorize and store different standards.

Pass/Fail Mode
The 964 stores 1,024 standards with settable tolerances for easy pass/fail measurement. Red/green LED indicators and LCD text display facilitate quick reading of test results. The 964 also provides audible alerts for failed measurements or completed tests.

Interchangeable Measurement Apertures
The measurement aperture can be switched among 4mm, 7mm, or 15mm. This feature allows operators to quickly adjust the measurement area based on sample size.

Inter-Instrument Agreement
The 964 offers excellent inter-instrument agreement—critical for applications using multiple instruments for color control. It is highly compatible with the X-Rite 968 0/45 Spectrophotometer, and both can feed data into X-Rite’s Windows-based color quality control or color matching software.

Hiding Power, Color Strength, and Color Sorting
The 964 can measure hiding power and three types of color strength (apparent, chromatic, and tristimulus). It also supports 555 color sorting. These are essential control parameters in industries such as plastics, coatings, and textiles.

Ergonomic Design for User Convenience
Equipped with a wrist strap and comfortable grip, the instrument is easy to carry and operate. The large screen ensures clear visibility of data. The included rechargeable battery pack supports use in workshops or outdoors, extending the instrument’s application range.
