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. 

Colorimeters or spectrophotometers are used to measure liquid color. They measure light coming through or reflecting off the liquid. Readings can be reported as Lab*, RGB, or absorbance units. So that objective color analysis can be used to control quality, or to measure chemical concentration.

Our haze meters provide consistent and accurate data as per the requirements of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468, and JIS K7105. Due to the high precision, advanced optics, and automatic calibrations, haze meters produce repeatable and precise results for glass, films, and plastics while remaining simple to operate.

For a proper color evaluation, ensure cleanliness, use standardized observation conditions, eliminate stray light, and periodically change the lamps.

Colors look different under various lights mainly because of metamerism—a phenomenon where two colors that match under one light source fail to match under another, caused by differences in the spectral composition of light.

Different lighting varies the color perception of objects. Warm light, like that from incandescent bulbs, tends to make colors more yellow, while daylight presents a bluish tint. Our color vision system plays a compensating role using a mechanism called color constancy.

Every light source emits light with a unique "spectral fingerprint" (i.e., the range and intensity of wavelengths it contains). This directly affects how an object’s surface reflects light and how our eyes perceive its color.

A haze meter should be calibrated every 6 months, or more frequently if used for certain quality control processes.

The dry film thickness is assessed after the coating is cured, while the wet film thickness is obtained immediately after the coating is applied using a wet film comb gauge. Dry film measurement is critical to ensuring that the coating applied matches the standards expected in terms adherence and polish. 

 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.
