Color Tester LCT-T2020

Introduction

Color Tester uses an inside-frosted incandescent bulb as its light source. It operates at 220V with a color temperature of 2750 ± 50K. This provides consistent and standardized lighting for accurate color comparison. Through the eyepiece, two semicircular color fields are visible. The left side shows the sample color, while the right side displays the standard color. Our color tester accurately measures the color of various petroleum products like lubricants, kerosene, and diesel.

This petroleum testing is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of modern laboratory operations, ensuring high precision, reliability, and ease of use for various experimental applications.

FAQs

1. What is the purpose of the It Color Tester in petroleum testing laboratories?

The It Color Tester is used to accurately measure and compare the color of various petroleum products such as lubricants, diesel, and kerosene. In petroleum analysis, color can indicate the quality or level of contamination in a sample. device provides standardized and consistent lighting conditions using a high-quality incandescent bulb. This allows lab technicians to visually compare the sample color against a set of standard colors. The results help in ensuring product quality and compliance with industrial specifications.

2. How does the It Color Tester ensure consistent and reliable color measurements?

It Color Tester is designed with a built-in inside-frosted incandescent bulb that operates at a stable voltage of 220V and a color temperature of 2750 ± 50K. This type of light closely mimics natural lighting, making it ideal for color evaluation. It features a colorimetric disc with 25 standardized color glass fields and one blank field for reference. The sample is placed in a colorless glass tube and viewed through an eyepiece. The tester shows the sample color on one half and the standard color on the other, allowing direct and accurate comparison. This setup ensures reliable results every time.

3. What types of petroleum products can be tested using the It Color Tester?

It Color Testers are specifically designed for testing a wide range of petroleum-based products. These include lubricants, kerosene, diesel, fuel oils, and similar fluids. Since color is often a key indicator of product composition, aging, or contamination, the color tester becomes an essential tool in quality control labs. By providing visual confirmation of color grade, the tester helps identify off-spec products early in the production or refining process.

4. What components are included in the It Color Tester and how do they function together?

The It Color Tester includes several precisely engineered parts: a colorimetric disc with 26 light holes (25 with standard color glass and one blank), a colorless flat-bottom glass tube for holding the sample, a reliable light source, and an observation eyepiece made of concave and convex lenses. When a sample is inserted into the instrument and illuminated, the user can look through the eyepiece and see two halves—one showing the sample color and the other showing the standard reference color. This simple yet effective system makes the instrument easy to use and highly accurate.

5. Why is It Color Tester preferred in labs over other basic visual comparison methods?

Compared to manual color comparison using color charts or basic tubes, the It Color Tester offers far greater precision and repeatability. It eliminates variables such as inconsistent lighting and human error. The controlled lighting source and standardized color reference disc make every comparison reliable. Also, the sturdy design and optical quality lenses ensure durability and long-term use. Laboratories prefer It because it combines high accuracy, ease of operation, and dependable performance ideal for routine quality control work.
