Instrument Specification
Description
Lovibond
®
PFXi instruments are high-precision, spectrophotometric colorimeters which are
designed for objective colour measurement of clear liquids or transparent solids. They are
easy to use, automatic instruments which overcome the subjectivity of visual methods. The
menu system guides operators through the selection of operating parameters. Thereafter,
measurements are initiated by just a single key press and take less than 20 seconds to
complete. PFXi instruments are rugged colorimeters with fabricated steel housing which are
designed to function as a QC instrument within the laboratory or on 24-hour operation in a
process control environment.

PFXi instruments operate as stand-alone colorimeters containing a standardised
light source and collimator, sample chamber, light detector, monochromator and processor
board.
Colour scales
Lovibond
®
PFXi instruments are designed to meet the colour analysis requirements of light
transmitting samples such as liquid chemicals, fuels, beers and waters. The PFXi series
provides colour data according to a full range of established industry scales. Measurements
can also be displayed in terms of spectral data and CIE values. PFXi instruments also allow
users to obtain a closest match to stored references or to build up a customised scale from a
series of reference samples. The user can easily customise the PFXi instrument to display
only those scales of interest.
