How to choose the correct color difference meter?

In industrial production, the color difference meter is the most important yardstick for quantifying color phenomena, establishing color standards, improving product appearance, and color quality control. In the industry, Colorimeters are now used as one of the most important tools for computer color matching. Color detection tools are an important step in product quality assurance in the production process. However, there are many kinds of color difference instruments and different brands on the market at present. Consumers will feel confused when they want to choose an instrument. Let's now learn the difference between different Colorimeters.

How to choose a Colorimeter?

Users inspect products very differently, and the environment for color measurement is also completely different. The price, accuracy, performance, function, applicable environment, and applicable products of different instruments are also different. When purchasing personnel of a demand company choose a Colorimeter, we first need to clarify what products our company wants to measure, under what environment, what color data we need to obtain, and what color analysis we need to perform.

 First of all, we need to know that general portable and handheld color difference meters are used for color difference analysis and color problem control in the production process, and desktop color difference meters are generally used in laboratories and new product development. The desktop Colorimeters currently on the market are all spectroscopic. The main features of this type of Colorimeter are very high precision, particularly stable performance, and comprehensive measurement functions. It is absolutely necessary for meticulous color detection in laboratories and new product development. To achieve excellence. However, the price of desktop Colorimeters is generally relatively high, and the relatively large volume is not suitable for color quality control on the production line.

Generally, if it is product color quality control on the production line, we use portable and hand-held Colorimeters. This kind of color difference meter is also divided into photoelectric integral type and spectroscopic type. The photoelectric integral type color difference meter generally only uses color difference detection and control. The function is relatively simple, and the price is cheaper than the spectroscopic type. The accuracy of the spectroscopic Colorimeter will be higher. It can not only detect the color difference of the product, but also analyze the color data of the product to understand the product whiteness, yellowness and other attribute values.

Understanding the above information can help you have a preliminary awareness of choosing a color difference meter, and then understand the instrument information in multiple directions with the explanation and help of the color difference meter sales staff, and finally choose a color difference meter product suitable for your company.
