Professional Tint Meter with 3-Digit LCD
Product Overview
The Professional Tint Meter is a high-precision, versatile device designed for accurately measuring the transparency and sun-blocking capabilities of various materials. This compact and user-friendly tool is essential for professionals in automotive, construction, and quality control industries, as well as for law enforcement. It provides quick and reliable readings of Visible Light Transmittance (VLT), helping you ensure compliance with safety regulations and quality standards.
Key Applications
This device delivers precise light transmittance measurements for a wide array of materials, including:
- Automotive: Test the VLT of car windows to ensure they meet legal safety and tinting standards.
- Building & Construction: Evaluate the performance of architectural glass, window films, and insulation coatings.
- Manufacturing: Perform quality control on plastics, films, coatings, and other organic materials.
- Interior Design: Measure the sun-blocking effectiveness of window curtains and treatments to assess their energy efficiency.
Its reliability makes it the tool of choice for police and vehicle inspection stations to enforce window tinting codes.
Innovative Design & Functionality
The meter features a unique two-piece design. The two halves are placed on opposite sides of the material being tested, aligning perfectly using powerful internal magnets. For added stability on vertical surfaces like windows, one half includes a suction cup to hold the unit securely in place during measurement.
Features at a Glance:
- Wide Application Range: Measures light transmittance for automotive windows, insulation paper, organic materials, coatings, films, glass, and plastic sheets.
- Sun-Blocking Measurement: Effectively assesses the performance of window curtains and treatments.
- Law Enforcement Grade: Ideal for measuring the Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) of vehicle windows for code enforcement.
- Auto Power Off: Intelligently shuts down after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
- Extended Battery Life: Capable of performing up to 4,000 continuous measurements on a single set of batteries.
- Continuous Use Function: Allows for back-to-back measurements without needing to restart the device.
- Auto Data Hold: Automatically freezes the reading on the display after each measurement, making it easy to record results accurately.
