Powder Whiteness Assessment Meter

The powder whiteness tester determines the whiteness by irradiating the sample surface and measuring the proportion of blue-violet light in the reflected light. It is used to detect the whiteness value of powdered and granular materials, and to monitor the color consistency of raw materials and products in the papermaking and coating industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the sample form to the measurement aperture, ensuring the whiteness scale aligns with industry standards, and that the instrument's repeatability error is less than 0.5%. It should come with a calibration whiteboard, feature a contamination-resistant design for the observation and measurement platform, and have interfaces compatible with laboratory data systems.

High-temperature viscometer measures the flow behavior of powder coatings in the molten state.
This article introduces the use of a high-temperature viscometer to measure the flow behavior of powder coatings in their molten state. Powder coatings need to melt and flow before curing, a process that directly affects the smoothness and performance of the coating.
Hall flowmeter measures the flowability of spray powder
This article introduces how a Hall flowmeter measures the flowability of spray powder. It uses a standard funnel to measure the time required for a certain mass of powder to flow out under gravity—the shorter the time, the better the flowability.
Tap density tester evaluates the accumulation characteristics of sprayed powder.
This article introduces how to use a tap density tester to evaluate the packing characteristics of spray powders. The tap density tester simulates vibration to densely pack the powder and measures the mass per unit volume, thereby obtaining the tap density.
Laser particle size analyzer measures the particle size distribution of spray powder.
Laser particle size analyzers measure the particle size distribution of sprayed powder based on the principle of light scattering, which is critical for coating uniformity and adhesion. During measurement, the powder must be dispersed in a suitable medium to avoid agglomeration, and tests should be repeated to ensure accuracy.
