FAQs About TS1050  Spectrodensitometer

A powder coated surface is most commonly measured for thickness post curing using a digital coating thickness gauge. This method is non-destructive, helps verify coverage uniformity and meets quality control standards. A powder comb gauge is used to estimate thickness for a pre-cured coating.

Yes. We can supply OEM and make customized design for any specific application. Our MOQ for OEM and ODM service is 5 pcs for one model. We can not only offer standard machines, but also customized machines. Don’t hesitate to tell us your requirement, we will try our best to meet your needs.

a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.

b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.

c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.

Because color perception depends on the following factors: 

Light source - For example, incandescent lamps emit orange light, while fluorescent lamps emit cool white light. Therefore, placing an object near different light sources will result in different perceived colors. 

Observed object - Different types of objects affect color perception differently. Examples include opaque objects, translucent objects, and transparent objects. 

Observer's position - Each observer will describe colors differently based on the position of their eyes. 

Different backgrounds - An object's color will appear duller against a light-colored background than against a dark-colored background. Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.

Different directions of light reflection from the object - Light reflected from different directions creates different color perceptions. This is particularly noticeable with metallic objects.

The number of reflected light is a measure assigned by a gloss meter as a gloss unit (GU). It is a normalized quantity in which 100 GU is normally a perfect reflection at 60°, and 0° GU is a full diffusion.


When using a Pantone light box, each sample should be positioned flat and nearby the other samples, but not overlapping. Each one should also be in the middle of the light box, and the surfaces of the light box should be clean and non-reflective.
