Model F Visual Colorimeter

Lovibond® Tintometer® Model F Colorimeter

The Model F is a visual colorimeter designed to optimise the use of Lovibond® glass filters in order to express color in terms of Lovibond® Red, Yellow, Blue and Neutral.

It is arranged with two adjacent fields of view, seen through the viewing tube, so that the product in the sample field and a white reflective surface in the comparison field are observed side by side, suitably illuminated.

The Lovibond® glasses are introduced into the comparison field by a simple system of sliding racks, allowing the user to compare the color of light which is either transmitted through, or reflected from, the sample.

A series of neutral glasses in racks is also supplied; these can be introduced into the sample field to ‘dull’ the color of products which are too bright to obtain a good color match using Lovibond® Red, Yellow or Blue glasses. The racks allow a visual colour match to be found from the light from the sample and its colour can then be expressed in Lovibond® units.

Lovibond® Tintometer® is the only company that can guarantee accurate, validated Lovibond® RYBN Color readings. A version of the Model F is optimized for measuring animal and vegetable fats and oils according to BS 684 Section 1.14, ISO 15305 and AOCS Method Cc 13e-92.

Racks are fitted with colorless glass compensating slides in the sample field.
