High-Precision, Heated Spectrophotometric Colorimeter with Remote Calibration
The Lovibond™ PFXi-880/P is a premium benchtop colorimeter designed for automatic, non-subjective color grading of transparent liquids such as petroleum oils, waxes, and solvents. Uniquely equipped with an integrated heater unit, it maintains sample temperature above the "cloud point," making it ideal for materials that require precise thermal control. Featuring RCMSi technology, it supports remote calibration and maintenance via the internet, ensuring compliance with industry standards and maximizing uptime.
Key Features
- RCMSi Technology: Remote calibration & maintenance via the internet
- Integrated Heater: Maintains sample temperature +10°C above the cloud point
- Extended Sample Chamber: Accepts cells up to 6" (153 mm) path length for ultra-light samples
- 16 Wavelength Filters: High-resolution, filter-based color measurement
- Automatic, Non-subjective Readings: Consistent results with no human error
- Off-Hue Calculation: Indicates deviation from target color with hue and saturation metrics
- International Standard Compliance: Compatible with ASTM, ISO, and CIE methodologies
- Software Included: Control software allows remote operation, spectral analysis, and reporting
Applications
- Petroleum Products (oils, fuels, lubricants)
- Waxes, Resins, Fats (temperature-sensitive samples)
- Industrial Solvents and Chemicals
- Quality Control in Refining and Production Facilities
