Color Meters
On
this page you see our color
meters for the measurement of colors. Include are our popular color meters
of the RGB
series. With these color meters, the difference in colors are readable in L
d*a*b*, L*C*H* and Delta E*ab
according to your requirements. The most interesting and paid model of color
meter in the PCE range of products is the PCE-RGB. Aside from being easy to use
and economical, our color meters are used for determining the location of a
color on the XYZ axis. They only work for non-radioactive substances. The
geometry of the measurement of these colors, with luminosity including a field
of measurement of 8 mm allow for universal use for all types of materials. The
range of applications of color meters is extensive and includes industry,
agriculture, crafts, commerce, as well as research and development. Furthermore,
these devices are used by artisans, paint manufacturers, architects, painters
and designers for testing colors (for color card, NCS, RAL, HKS) or for
establishing colors after mixing various colors, are able to give you ISO
9000 calibration certificates for color meters or factory calibration
documents. These are often needed by companies, institutes and laboratories
since they need to be 100 % sure that they use exact and accurate instruments
for their test series. Our partners will prepare a calibration certificate which
is made for the product and you as our consumer personally. We give the promise
and that is illustrate by the continual increasing of our company. This is also
the reason why the calibration certificates are not returnable. We only work
together with calibration laboratories we trust and over the years they have
become brilliant partners where every job get done as fast as possible and you
as our customer can be sure that the job has been done more than sufficient and
professional. Some of our color meters come with software.
This makes it easy to transfer the measured results to your computer or smart phone
to save, store and analyze them immediately or to a specific point of time in
the future. The processing industries are discovering more and more the
advantage of color meters when it comes to production monitoring and quality
control. In addition to that, not every person sees colors with the same
sensitivity. The use of color meters allows objective control of the colors. In
some cases updates for the color meters can be downloaded easily from the PCE
server which makes color meters more comfortable than other color
measuring devices. If you can't find the color meters you are looking for,
please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs
by calling our offices on:  UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers (561) 320-9162 and
our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring
instruments, scales
and balances and also regarding our control
systems.

Information about the measurement of
color: Because
there are certain problems defining the different colors only with human eyes,
the color meter helps to identify different shades of colors. In our days, it
gets more important to have proper colors. The color meters help to get over the
debility of the human eye. From this it follows that quality assurance is
improved a lot by color meters. Different color spaces are classified by a coordinating system in which all of the different
colors are represented by coordinates on an axis. Conditioned by the structure of the human eye and taking into account that it will be a human eye observing the
color, these colors are then placed on an axis. They are used in some 30 systems of
color spaces. The images above show the most important color spaces. A fundamental problem of adjusting
colors, in developing color meters, is the sensitivity of the human eye. The problem is that the
color spaces don't coincide with the perception of the human eye.  When colors are mixed, problems exist in the perception of the area for the
color yellow. On the other hand, with a mix of color dominated by the color blue, you can simulate a lighter shade of
color to the human eye. To eliminate such problems they are used in conjunction with a
color analysist frequency in such a way as to fabricate different shades. The manufacturer of a product sends a product out to be painted or treated having agreed on using an established
color standard (such as RGB color space), both possess the same color meter. The factory, follows the agreement, verifies the test output of the
color of the product and ships it as it meets the standard. They then continue with treating the product then check it against the frequency of its
color when it arrived. In cases where the result is contrary to the agreement, the two departments can communicate exactly about the difference in
colors and use the same color space in corresponding tests.
Compared to a densitometer a
color meter / spectral photometer does not only measure the reflection of a
color by using a specific filter which allows to form a conclusion about the
thickness of the coating of the object that has been colored. Actually a color
meter measures the values of remission by illuminating the whole area of
measurement with the whole spectrum of visible light which ranges from infrared
to ultraviolet. Such spectral photometers divide the whole spectrum of visible
light in a number of different ribbons or measurement flumes and delivers for
each measurement flume a digitalized value of luminosity.
