Light transmittance measures how much light passes through a material—the higher the value, the more “transparent” the material appears.
Haze, on the other hand, measures the degree to which light is scattered after passing through a material—the stronger the scattering, the more “hazy” or “whitish” the material appears.
The most widely used international standard is ASTM D1003. The testing principle is as follows:
A light beam from a light source is directed perpendicularly onto the sample.
An integrating sphere collects all light that passes through the sample.
A haze meter measures both the total transmitted light (all light that passes through) and the scattered light (light deviating from the incident direction by > 2.5°).
Calculations:
Light transmittance (%) = Total transmitted light ÷ Incident light × 100%
Haze (%) = Scattered light ÷ Total transmitted light × 100%
This standard applies to transparent plastic sheets, films, and similar materials of uniform thickness. Before testing, ensure the sample surface is clean and free of scratches.
A comprehensive calibration is recommended every 12 months. However, immediate calibration is required—without waiting for the annual cycle—in the following situations:
After the instrument has been subjected to impact, dropped, or shifted during transport;
After replacing the light source, the coating of the integrating sphere, or the photodetector;
When routine verification using a standard plate (recommended weekly) reveals data deviations exceeding specifications;
Operational Recommendations: Before daily use, perform a quick verification (i.e., “calibration check”) using the supplied standard haze plate to ensure the day’s data is reliable; annual calibration should be performed by a qualified metrology institution or the original manufacturer, which will issue a calibration certificate.
