Visual Colorimeter: The Tintometer Model F from Lovibond

The Model F is a visual colorimeter designed to optimise the use of Lovibond glass filters in order to express colour in terms of Lovibond Red, Yellow, Blue, and Neutral. Simply insert the sample, find a visual match, and the Lovibond RYBN values are found.

Visual colorimeter: The Model F uses glass filters to express colour in terms of the scale Lovibond Red, Yellow, Blue, and Neutral.

Two adjacent fields of view: Seen though the viewing tube, the sample and reference are viewed side by side, suitably illuminated by a white reflective surface.

Easy colour comparison: The Lovibond glasses are introduced into the comparison field by a simple system of sliding racks, allowing you to compare the colour of light which is either transmitted through, or reflected from, the samle. The racks are varied until a visual colour match is found, and the colour can then be expressed in Lovibond units.

Excellent Colour Matching: A series of neutral glasses in racks is also suppllied; these can be introduced into the sample field to dull the colour of products which are too bright to obtain a good colour match using Lovibond Red, Yellow or Blue glasses.

Assured accuracy of Lovibond RYBN Colour: Lovibond Tintometer is the only company that can guarantee accurate, validated Lovibond RYBN Colour readings.

Easy maintenance for optimum performance: The Lovibond Tintometer is a precision optical instrument which should be kept clean to preserve its accuracy, which is why the Model F has been designed to allow easy cleaning and maintenance with a minimum of cost and effort.

Application versatility: The Model F is an easy-to-use instrument with versatile application in colour measurement of products which transmit light as well as opaque liquids, powders and pastes (an optional "solid" sample accessory pack may be required for colour grading of light-reflecting products).

Compliance with international standards: The Model F is available in slightly varying formats to meet the requirements of different applications and the national and international standardising bodies which specify the instrument in their official methods for colour measurement.
