A colorimeter is a device used to measure the concentration of a colorless solution. It is commonly used in water tests to measure the concentration of chlorine, dissolved oxygen, or carbon dioxide in water. It is also used in the printing industry to measure the color of inks and dyes.
Calibration of a colorimeter is important to ensure accurate readings. Incorrect calibration can result in readings that are too high or too low, which can cause problems with water treatment or printing.
There are two main types of colorimeters: those that use a photocell to measure the intensity of light, and those that use a spectrophotometer to measure the absorption of light. However, those we have in Kalstein are able to enforce the customers’ demands, thanks to the built-in silicon photo diode matrix sensors, import the slate, Δ E*ab repetitive easy control within 0.1, both the measurement speed and the convenience of operation, without the need to connect the computer or software can quickly judge the measured color difference, 8 mm in diameter meet the electronics of plastic, paint and ink, printing and dyeing textiles.
Importance of Calibration
The colorimeter must be able to accurately measure the concentrations of the standard solutions. Once the colorimeter has been calibrated, it can be used to measure the concentration of the unknown solution.
This process of adjusting the sensitivity of the instrument to light, so that it can measure the color in a consistent way. The sensitivity can be adjusted by using color filters, which are placed over the instrument’s camera. Adjusting sensitivity sets a “sensitivity curve,” which can be used to measure an object’s color more accurately. The sensitivity curve can be adjusted to make the colorimeter more sensitive to color changes, or less sensitive, depending on the user’s needs.
