Testing the coloriMeter

The color difference tester calculates colorimetric values such as L*a*b* by measuring the spectral differences between the reflected or transmitted light of a sample and a standard color. It is used in industries such as coatings and plastics to monitor color consistency during production, assisting in formula adjustments and quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, and determine whether a portable or benchtop model is needed. Check the instrument's repeatability indicators and lighting conditions, and ensure that the accompanying software meets data management requirements. Verify the compatibility of the instrument's measurement protocols according to industry standards.
