A colorimeter measures the amount of light and the wavelength that is absorbed by a solution. It is a sign that colored compounds are present and the level of their concentration. It is applied in the laboratory and industry to check the concentrations of chemicals, the color of products, and purity.

Look for dirty or fingerprinted glass along the optical path, recalibrate with standards, and check the set-up for outside light so that it is controlled. If the problems still exist, please reach out to the helpdesk or book a service with your professional service.

Threenh Technology colorimeters provide a color deviation prompt function according to the Lab value, which can provide a reference for color matching. The handheld colorimeter can only indicate blacker, whiter, redder, greener, yellower or bluer, but it cannot provide accurate color formulas. Only with the help of a spectrophotometer and professional color matching software can fully realized automated color matching.

A magnetic induction gauge measures galvanized coatings by sensing the zinc coating on steel and iron. The measurement tells how thick the protective coating is. This is done to ensure the prevention of rusting.  

The machine used to measure color is primarily called a colorimeter or spectrophotometer. 

Spectrophotometer: The most common and precise type. It analyzes light reflected/transmitted by an object across the visible spectrum to quantify color accurately. A spectrophotometer can measure colors on smooth or matte surfaces, as well as textured, glossy, mirror-like surfaces, and special effect colors. It measures the reflected light of a sample at a fixed angle (e.g., 45˚) or captures light reflected at all angles to calculate color measurements that closely match what the human eye perceives. Additionally, similar to how humans flip a sample to view colors from different angles, a spectrophotometer is suitable for measuring a variety of materials and surface characteristics. Widely used in industries like paint, textiles, plastics, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and printing. 

Colorimeter: Also called photoelectric integrating colorimeter, a simpler, more cost-effective option. It measures color based on three primary colors (RGB) and is suitable for basic color matching needs. A photoelectric integrating colorimeter is a color measurement device based on the photoelectric integration principle. It directly measures the tristimulus values XYZ of an object's color using three color filters (red, green, blue) and silicon photocells as three sensors. The color measurement principle of this instrument imitates the human eye's mechanism of perceiving the three primary colors (red, green, blue). It corrects the relative spectral sensitivity of the detector through color filters to match the CIE-recommended spectral tristimulus value functions x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ).

Spectrocolorimeter: Combines the functions of spectrophotometers and colorimeters, offering both spectral data and color space values for comprehensive analysis.

The measurement of color varies according to context in several units. Such common units are L*a*b* (CIELAB), RGB (Red-Green-Blue), and color difference (Delta E). In light absorption, there are no units assigned to absorbance. But the quantitative analysis of absorbance obeys Beer's Law in colorimetry.

A colorimeter sends light through a solution and measures the amount that is absorbed. It computes the absorbance by comparing the intensity of light before and after passing through. The greater the concentration of the color, the greater is the absorption of the light. It is also possible to quantify the color of the solution.

A powder coated surface is most commonly measured for thickness post curing using a digital coating thickness gauge. This method is non-destructive, helps verify coverage uniformity and meets quality control standards. A powder comb gauge is used to estimate thickness for a pre-cured coating.
