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 colorimeter is a scientific instrument used to measure and analyze the color characteristics of objects or materials. It quantifies color by evaluating specific parameters related to human visual perception and standardized color spaces.

To extend the life of a haze meter, keep the instrument dust-free and clean, regularly calibrate it, and control for a stable dry storage. For better results, avoid letting the optics dry, and leave the meters under sunlight. For optimal performance, have the meter professionally serviced once a year.

When using a Pantone light box, each sample should be positioned flat and nearby the other samples, but not overlapping. Each one should also be in the middle of the light box, and the surfaces of the light box should be clean and non-reflective.

In a Pantone light box, the tubes last around 2000 to 3000 hours, after which the brightness and color should be assessed for replacement.

The automotive, aerospace, metal finishing, marine, construction, and manufacturing industries utilize and rely on coating thickness gauges the most. They ensure that coatings are within the expected criteria for functionality, safety, and durability.

Measuring zinc coating thickness is most commonly using magnetic induction. The gauge measures how far the magnetic probes are to the metal base under the zinc. This is the most reliable way to measure the thickness and the preservation of the galvanization.

At most of time, we have stock in the factory. Generally it is 1-3 working days after the payment confirmed. After shipped, we will email you the tracking number. You can check the shipping status of your order on the website. If you are in urgent need, we can consider making special arrangement for you.

Depending on model and location, delivery time is usually 2-4 weeks for standard models and 4-6 weeks for built- to-order ones. 

Coating thickness is best measured with a coating thickness gauge specific for the type of substrate. Magnetic and eddy gauges are best for metals while ultrasonic gauges are best for non-metals. These devices provide measurement accuracy and consistency.
