A colorimeter is a precision instrument for measuring color differences of objects and serves multiple vital functions.
In industrial production, colorimeters are primarily deployed for quality control to guarantee consistent product color. For industries such as coatings, plastics, textiles and printing, a colorimeter can accurately quantify the color difference between test samples and reference standards, ensuring the color of every production batch stays within acceptable tolerance ranges.
3nh COLORIMER deliver reliable build quality and exceptional precision, providing enterprises with cost-effective and traceable color quality control measurements.
Equipped with multiple measuring apertures, 3nh colorimeters are capable of measuring reflected color and color difference across a wide range of industrial sectors. They are widely used for color quality control in compounding, food, raw materials and finished products.

As a portable colorimeter with 45°/0° optical structurelaunched by 3nh, the NR145 features an 8mm small aperture, dual precision positioning and high stability, and is widely used in color detection scenarios across various industries. Its core applications are as follows:
Suitable for small products such as plastic pellets, casings and buttons, accurately measuring color difference, yellowness index and whiteness index.
Applied in color consistency control of electronic accessories to ensure uniform appearance quality.
Conduct on-site rapid color difference judgment for automotive coatings, industrial coatings and printing inks.
Support color data collection for powder and liquid coatings, and realize color formula traceability with CQCS3 software.
Used for color difference detection of automobile body paint, interior parts and plastic accessories.
Vertical design is suitable for measuring curved and small-area parts, meeting the whole-process quality control of vehicle coating.
Measure the color of cloth, yarn, leather and other textured samples to precisely control dyeing and matching effects.
Adapt to color consistency verification of mass production in clothing and home textiles.
Food: Detect the color of beverages, candies, sauces and other foods to monitor quality stability.
Pharmaceuticals/Cosmetics: Accurately measure color deviation of tablets, capsules and cosmetic powders to ensure compliance.
Building materials: Suitable for color difference detection of hard materials such as glass, ceramic tiles and plates.
Printing: Measure color reproduction of packaging paper products and trademark labels, supporting multi-batch color comparison.
Meet the color measurement experiment needs of universities and research institutions, supporting output of various color space data.
Connect to a computer for data archiving and report generation, facilitating professional color analysis.

For samples with irregular or uneven surface textures such as granules, coffee, fabrics, wood, stones and bricks, the PS808C Spectrocolorimeter is your ideal solution. Featuring a unique 50 mm large aperture, it is perfectly suited for these types of samples. Without this instrument, operators would have to manually take multiple measurements and calculate averages to obtain representative and repeatable data.
