FAQs About  SFRPlus Test Charts

A Spectrophotometer color measuring device objectively determines the color of a surface. It is used wherever accurate color matching, reproducibility or deviation control is needed – for example in quality assurance, product development or incoming goods inspection.

Spectrophotometer color measuring devices primarily perform three key tasks:

Capture color information: They detect light reflected, transmitted, or emitted by a sample using optical sensors.
Quantify color data: They convert the captured optical signals into standardized numerical values, such as RGB, CMYK, or CIELAB coordinates.
Compare color consistency: They compare the measured color data of a sample against a target or standard to assess color accuracy and uniformity.


A colorimeter is a quick and inexpensive method to measure color and to control color in a material or solution. It is used to maintain color consistency during production and to check the chemical concentration. It also assists with the quality control of labs, food, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.


Make sure the light sources are calibrated, keep extraneous light sources away, have the correct viewing angles, and handle the samples in a clean and uniform manner.


Gloss level is not given out in percentage but in gloss units (GU). In practice, however, 100 GU is considered 100 percent reflective. To contrast visually, the 20-40 GU is a low-gloss surface, and 85 or more is almost 100 percent mirror-like reflection.


The best tool for measuring clear coat thickness is an ultrasonic coating thickness gauge. It is capable of measuring the thickness of each layer of paint on the vehicle, even the clear coat. This is common in automotive refinishing and inspection.


You can choose a colorimters depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right 3NH colorimeter for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

By systematically addressing these factors, you can select a colorimeter that optimizes accuracy, efficiency, and value for your specific application.Learn more from our ultimate guide on colorimeter selection. If unsure, consult the 3NH manufacturer for personalized recommendations based on your sample and workflow.
