A colorimeter is used to measure absorbance at selected wavelengths with the help of filters, which is suitable for rapid comparison of colors. A more advanced spectrophotometer has a monochromator. It can measure a larger range of the spectrum of light and is more accurate. You can also get detailed color data at visible and non-visible wavelengths.

Our haze meters provide consistent and accurate data as per the requirements of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, and JIS K7105. Due to the high precision, advanced optics, and automatic calibrations, haze meters produce repeatable and precise results for glass, films, and plastics while remaining simple to operate.

Techniques of measuring color are visual color comparison, colorimetry (with colorimeters) and spectrophotometry (measuring spectral reflectance), and image analysis. Both techniques measure the reflection or absorption of light by materials and are commonly quantified. Therefore standardized in color spaces such as CIELAB or RGB.

To keep a neutral background, helping to reduce color distortion and bias.

Assembling the light booth entails connecting the panels, fixing the light fixtures, fitting the tubes, and calibrating the lights according to our 3nh manufacturer’s instructional and safety guidelines.

A Spectrophotometer color measuring device objectively determines the color of a surface. It is used wherever accurate color matching, reproducibility or deviation control is needed – for example in quality assurance, product development or incoming goods inspection.

Spectrophotometer color measuring devices primarily perform three key tasks:

Capture color information: They detect light reflected, transmitted, or emitted by a sample using optical sensors.
Quantify color data: They convert the captured optical signals into standardized numerical values, such as RGB, CMYK, or CIELAB coordinates.
Compare color consistency: They compare the measured color data of a sample against a target or standard to assess color accuracy and uniformity.

Each haze test can take from 3 to 10 seconds depending on the device and the type of sample.

A coating thickness gauge measures film layers by identifying shifts in magnetic flux, eddy currents, or ultrasonic echoes as they penetrate the coating. The gauge calculates thickness based on the magnitude of these signals. This universally accepted approach results in quick, reliable, and non-invasive measurements. 

For complete color evaluation, the CAC is commonly outfitted with D65 (daylight), TL84 (store light), F (home light), UV, and CWF (cool white fluorescent) lamps. 

Ambient light, heat, and moisture levels should be regulated. The use of colored walls and reflective surfaces should be avoided, as they can damage the assessment of the sample colors visually.
