Plating ColoriMeter

The coating colorimeter calculates the color difference from standard samples by measuring the tristimulus values of reflected light from the coating surface. It is used for quickly assessing the color consistency of coatings in production settings, and is applied in industries such as electroplating and spray painting for incoming inspection and process control.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, ensuring the observation light source type complies with industry standards, and confirming the instrument's repeatability meets process requirements. Portable models are suitable for on-site inspections, while benchtop and online types are appropriate for laboratory and assembly line environments, respectively.
