Haze measurement can be distorted by scratches on the surface, dust, temperature, and light.
Inconsistent results from a haze meter can stem from issues like calibration, dusty haze meter optics, inadequate power supply, and improper measurement technique. If you have any questions, you can contact our Haze measurement experts
Of course! Many portable, battery operated, and lightweight coating thickness gauges are available for on-site and field inspections. They provide quick and accurate results and portable gauges are ideal for construction, automotive, and industrial environments.
You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.
By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.
The gloss of the paint is defined by the measurement of light reflection at the surface of the paint with the help of a gloss meter. The angle and quantity of light reflected determine the level of gloss, with smoother and reflective surfaces having a higher level of gloss.
The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.
Take into account the measurement range, type of samples, needed precision, any relevant standards, and your industry.
Once ignited, the gauge will select the correct substrate mode. The probe should be placed flat on the coated surface. The thickness of the coating will show on the screen. Measurements should be taken on different areas of the surface to ensure accuracy.
A gloss test gauges the reflective quality of a surface by casting light at a fixed angle and measuring the amount reflected. It defines the level of shine or dullness of a surface, and it is very crucial in coatings, automotive, and product finishing
To keep a neutral background, helping to reduce color distortion and bias.
