Overview

About the Digital Opacity Tester

The Digital Opacity Tester is used to check the opaqueness of plastic samples, as per IS 4985 and IS 12235 (Part 3). Opacity is a measure of how much light a material blocks; it is an important property for plastic pipes and films, where controlling light transmission affects both performance and appearance. The tester measures the percentage of light blocked and shows it directly on a digital display.

With a range of 0 to 99.9% opaque and a direct digital read-out, the instrument makes the test quick and easy. For water-supply pipes, high opacity helps prevent algae growth by keeping light out; for films and packaging, the correct opacity affects look, branding and product protection — so verifying opacity is a routine quality requirement in pipe and film production.

FAQ

Digital Opacity Tester — FAQs

What is a Digital Opacity Tester used for?
It checks the opaqueness of plastic samples per IS 4985 and IS 12235 (Part 3) by measuring how much light a sample blocks and showing the result directly as a percentage.
Which standards does it follow?
IS 4985 and IS 12235 (Part 3).
What is the range and display?
A range of 0 to 99.9% opaque with a direct digital display of percentage opacity.
Why is opacity important?
It controls light transmission — high opacity in water pipes helps prevent algae growth, while in films and packaging the right opacity affects appearance and protection.
Do you export the Digital Opacity Tester?
Yes. We export to more than 50 countries and have equipped over 10,000 laboratories in India and abroad.
