Coating Color Meter

The paint colorimeter measures chromaticity values by illuminating the sample surface, capturing the spectral data of the reflected light, and performing calculations. It is used for color comparison and color difference analysis in production sites and laboratories to ensure the consistency of paint colors.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, opt for an integrating sphere structure to handle different surfaces, verify the instrument's repeatability specifications, assess whether the software functions support industry-standard color systems, and check the device's environmental adaptability.
