FAQs About  Other Charts

Gloss levels are usually of five types, namely, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss. These categories are of rising levels of reflectivity of the surface and are utilized to characterize the completion of paints, coatings, and other substances.


a. If this phenomenon occurred, it means the battery power is not enough. You need to charge the battery.

b. When charge the battery, please insert the battery to the instrument, and plug in the adapter to charge the battery. After 5 minutes, the instrument can be turned on.

c. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can pull out the adapter and re-plug in to check it. Or repeat this operation.

d. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can turn off the colorimeter and turn on it again to check it. Or repeat this operation.

e. If you have tried all the methods above but the colorimeter still cannot be turned on, please change the battery.

Threenh colorimters are used across various industries to measure, analyze, and control color accuracy and consistency:

Food and Beverages: Monitor color quality in food products to meet industry standards.

Plastics and Polymers: Ensure color uniformity in plastic components (e.g., casings, buttons, panels) during manufacturing.

Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals,Cosmetics: Industry-specific accessories to attain the highest safety protocols, Ensure uniform color in pharmaceutical products for quality and brand recognition;Develop and match colors for cosmetics (e.g., lipsticks, creams, powders) and ensure batch consistency.

Textiles and Apparel: Monitor color consistency in fabrics during dyeing, printing, or finishing processes; ensure color consistency in fabrics and garments.

Building materials, Paints, and Coatings: Detect color deviations in coatings on metal, wood, or plastic surfaces (e.g., automotive paints, furniture finishes). Maintain color accuracy in building materials, paints, and coatings.

Printing and Packaging: Validate color accuracy in printed materials (e.g., brochures, labels, packaging) against design proofs, maintain consistency across different printing technologies.

By addressing color-related quality control challenges, 3NH colorimeters help industries maintain brand consistency, meet regulatory standards, and enhance customer satisfaction.


For premier glass quality grading (color, transmittance, haze, coating uniformity, architectural/auto/optical glass), the top 3nh & industry-leading instruments are:


1. 3nh YS6060 Benchtop (Best Lab Accuracy)

  • d/8° integrating sphere, 360–780nm, UV adjustable

  • Dual mode: reflectance + transmission

  • ΔE*ab ≤ 0.015, IIA ≤ 0.2, haze measurement

  • Multi-apertures (Φ4/8/15/25.4mm)

  • Ideal: colored glass, coated glass, optical glass, lab R&D


2. 3nh TS8560 Benchtop (Ultra-High Precision)

  • d/8° sphere, SCI/SCE, UV control

  • ΔE*ab ≤ 0.01 (repeatability)

  • Large transmission compartment

Short Recommendation

  • Top lab: YS6060

  • Ultra-precision: TS8560

  • Portable production: ST70

  • Economical QC: NS810

All measure color consistency, transmittance, haze & coating uniformity for glass quality grading.


Depending on the scale of the manufacturer, its matte, low-sheen finish can be called gloss level 3. Overall, gloss levels in certain standards go between 1 (flat) to 7 (high gloss). Level 3 is considered low-gloss or satin-like.


You should not attempt measuring on surfaces that are dirty, oily, or rough, as these surfaces will not provide an accurate reading. Always calibrate the paint thickness tester and make sure to select the proper probe for the substrate as well. Proper execution will bring about consistency as well as trustworthiness to the readings.
