Spectral Colorimeter

Introduction

A spectral colorimeter analyzes full spectral reflectance or transmission for advanced color analysis. It is used in coatings, textiles, and material science. It solves basic color measurement limitations by providing detailed spectral data for accurate color control.

Standards

ASTM E308-22-Standard Practice for Computing the Colors of Objects by Using the CIE System

ISO/CIE 11664-4:2019-Colorimetry-Part 4: CIE 1976 L*a*b* colour space

ISO/CIE 11664-6:2022-Colorimetry-Part 6: CIEDE2000 colour-difference formula

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Multiple measurement modes support different applications.

2. Data storage and export options support records and reports.

3. Precise optical filters or sensors deliver repeatable colour readings.

4. Compact, portable design suits bench and field use.

5. Automatic shut-off and low-power design extend battery life.

FAQ

What are the main applications of the Spectral Colorimeter?

The Spectral Colorimeter is used to measure colour or colour-related properties of liquids or surfaces. It supports colour comparison, concentration measurement, quality control and formulation in water treatment, food, paint, chemical and clinical laboratories.

What standards does the Spectral Colorimeter comply with?

The instrument is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety and relevant GB/T standards for colorimetric measurement, with procedures following applicable standard methods. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What does the warranty cover?

The system is covered for 12 months after shipment, including the main mechanism and electrical controls. Replaceable consumables and routine service items are not part of the warranty. Faults caused by improper installation outside the manual or unauthorised modification are not covered.

Is the Spectral Colorimeter difficult to operate?

The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.

What is the typical lead time for order delivery?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Does the Spectral Colorimeter need calibration or verification?

Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.

Where do we get replacement parts?

Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.

Are options or configurations available?

A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.

How is the Spectral Colorimeter commissioned?

Standard installation is straightforward and supported by the manual and start-up documentation. Our technical team can guide staff remotely through checks and validation. On-site commissioning is available as a quoted service.

What maintenance and safety points matter?

Do not use cloudy or incompatible samples, skip blanking or use dirty cells. Calibrate and clean the sample compartment regularly. Follow the operating instructions.
