The number of reflected light is a measure assigned by a gloss meter as a gloss unit (GU). It is a normalized quantity in which 100 GU is normally a perfect reflection at 60°, and 0° GU is a full diffusion.

Every 2,000 - 3,000 hours or manufacturer recommendation to maintain consistent light and color quality.

There are many factors that can influence accuracy such as surface roughness, temperature, substrate material, and calibration settings. For ferrous metals, external magnetic fields can also distort measurements. Proper calibration and preparation will help reduce the impact of these factors.

The Ideal Accurate and User - Friendly Spectrophotometer for Your Needs 

This Spectrophotometer device measures the reflectivity，absorbance, transmittance, and fluorescence of light passing through samples, providing invaluable data for a wide range of applications, provide unrivaled accuracy for reliable results. 

Selecting an appropriate spectrophotometer offers significant advantages for precision color analysis and quality control. When choosing an accurate and user - friendly spectrophotometer, consider factors such as wavelength range, sensitivity, sample handling options, and available software features. By investing in the right spectrophotometer, you can streamline your analytical processes, obtain more accurate results, and enhance the overall efficiency of your laboratory or industrial operations. 

 Choosing the right model—whether portable, benchtop, or inline—aligns technology with specific industry needs, ensuring long-term reliability and optimized color management.

 A spectrophotometer illuminates a sample with light or passes light through it and records the reflected or transmitted light over the wavelength range. It transforms this data into color coordinates (such as L*a*b*), allowing accurate color assessment as well as color comparison to standards.

High Measurement Accuracy and Stability: Low ΔE fluctuation (e.g., NH300: ΔE < 0.07; NR10QC: ΔE ≤ 0.03 short-term repeatability); Reliable sensors (CMOS dual-beam/silicon photodiode) and long-lasting light sources (1.6M–3M measurements over 5 years).

User-friendly Design and Convenient Operation: Intuitive interfaces (e.g., NH300’s “fool-proof” operation), auto-calibration, and ergonomic grips for extended use; Versatile positioning (light/cross alignment) for precise measurements.

Robust Design: Our colorimter instruments are designed to withstand rigorous use, providing long-term reliability. Rechargeable lithium batteries enable 5,000–6,000 measurements per charge (e.g., NH300/TS7030), ensuring cost-effective durability.

PC Software Support for Functionality Expansion: PC software (e.g., CQCS3) supports color difference analysis, chromaticity indexing, and sample library management.

Global customer support: Our global presence across regions ensures you get the service and maintenance support you need to keep your instrument at peak performance. 

Multiple Measurement Apertures and Application Scenarios: Multiple measurement apertures, different models have different measurement apertures and some models offer multiple optional apertures. Applicable to plastic electronics, paint and ink, textile and garment printing and dyeing, printing, ceramics, automotive, food, medicine and other industries for color quality control and color difference detection.

A paint gloss meter is used to measure the level of paint gloss, whereby it reflects light at some angles, such as 20°, 60°, or 85° angles, and measures the intensity of that light. To measure surface sheen, the level of gloss is compared to standards that are calibrated and reported in units of gloss (GU).

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. 

Lightbooths come in different dimensions. A typical tabletop model occupies 0.5-1 m². The bigger industrial variants take up 2-4 m².  If you have special requirements, we can customize the product according to your size

In industrial production and quality control, color consistency is one of the core elements determining product quality. Whether it is the metallic paint for automobile coating, the dyeing effect of textile fabrics, or the ink matching in packaging and printing, subtle color deviations may lead to cost waste or damage to brand image.

The LAB color space defines colors with a three-dimensional model:

1. Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).

2. Hue and Saturation (a and b):

• The a-axis represents the red-green tendency, with positive values leaning towards red and negative values leaning towards green;

• The b-axis represents the yellow-blue tendency, with positive values leaning towards yellow and negative values leaning towards blue.

It is a globally recognized standard and supported by most modern color measurement equipment. Color is quantitatively analyzed by measuring Lab values with instruments.
