Record the L*a*b values of the sample and the reference with a calibrated spectrophotometer or colorimeter. Compute the difference in the color by use of ΔE. The lower the Delta E, the more accurate the result. The difference in energy, ΔE < 1, is generally assumed to be invisible to the eye.

The CCC is much like the CAC yet it frequently has advanced programmable lighting, sophisticated electronic control systems that allow for light source switching, and advanced visual testing.

Our machine is packed by standard export wooden box, it won’t be damaged. We’ve delivered many testing machines abroad by sea or by air without damage.

Zero calibration of a hazemeter is a critical pre-measurement procedure to ensure the instrument’s accuracy by resetting its baseline to "zero" when no haze or light attenuation is present.

1. Align the hazemeter’s measurement window with air or a black background, ensuring no objects block the window.

2. Press the hazemeter’s zero calibration button and wait for the instrument to complete automatic calibration. At this point, the instrument should display a zero haze value and a zero light transmittance value.

3. Observe the instrument’s display to confirm the zero calibration result stabilizes near zero. If the zero calibration is inaccurate, repeat the above steps multiple times until the displayed haze and light transmittance values stabilize near zero.

Perform 0-degree calibration before testing, this eliminates inherent instrument drift, environmental interference, or residual signal errors, ensuring subsequent measurements of transparent/translucent samples (e.g., plastic films，pvc, glass, coating, displays and cosmetic packaging) are reliable. Correct for minor instrument deviations caused by long-term use, temperature changes, or power fluctuations.

 Color is measured using devices such as colorimeters, spectrophotometers, and spectroradiometers. Colorimeters are easier and good for simple color quality tests. Whereas spectrophotometers yield detailed spectral information. Hence, suitable for laboratories and industries.

 A gloss meter measures the amount of light reflected from a surface at a specific angle. It's commonly used to assess surface finishes such as paint, coatings, plastics, and paper for consistency, quality control, and visual appearance evaluation.

The ΔE (Delta E) formula of the CIELAB color space is usually used to measure color difference. The difference is measured in a colorimeter or spectrophotometer to gauge the level of perceptibility of the difference between two samples in terms of L*a*b*.

The principle of colorimetry is the law of Beer-Lambert, which says that the intensity of light absorbed by a colored solution is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing species and the path length. It measures the extent of light that is absorbed at certain wavelengths.

 The five common gloss levels are:

1. Flat/Matte (0–10 GU)

2. Eggshell (10–25 GU)

3. Satin (26–40 GU)

4. Semi-gloss (41–70 GU)

High Gloss (71–100+ GU)
These levels vary slightly depending on industry and standards used.
