Powder Color Assessment SpectroPhotoMeter

Powder colorimeters measure the surface reflectance spectra of samples using the principle of diffuse reflection and calculate color parameters. They are used for color quality control of powdered materials, such as monitoring batch-to-batch color differences in industries like coatings and plastics.
Selection
When selecting, consider the match between the powder particle size and the instrument's measurement aperture, and ensure the use of appropriate sample pressing tools to guarantee a flat surface. Pay attention to the instrument's repeatability indicators, and choose a model that includes an industry-standard colorimetric system.
