Powdered Material Color Measurement Instrument

The powder colorimeter measures the spectral data of light reflected from the surface of powder samples using the principle of diffuse reflection and converts it into colorimetric values. It is used to detect color consistency in materials such as powder pigments and plastic masterbatches, as well as to control color differences between production batches.
Selection
When selecting, consider the matching of powder particle size with the instrument's measurement aperture, and check the instrument's repeatability index. Ensure the use of appropriate sample pressing tools to guarantee a flat sample surface. Confirm whether the color difference formula meets the testing requirements according to industry standards.
