FAQs About YD5050 Spectrodensitometer

A visual colorimeter is a type of colorimeter that uses the human eye to compare the color depth of a sample with that of a standard solution for semi-quantitative or quantitative analysis of substances. This method is commonly used for quick, rough evaluations in industries such as petroleum, transparent liquids, varnishes, chemicals and printing, as well as for visual color grading in quality control. Its working principle is to compare the sample with a standard and provide visual color measurement results, rather than relying on electronic sensors.

Visual Colorimeters vs. Photoelectric Colorimeters

Visual colorimeters rely on human eye observation, whereas photoelectric colorimeters use sensors to deliver higher precision, complete the measurement automatically through electronic circuits, less subjective color measurement and faster results. They are generally more suitable for rapid, on-line or portable color difference measurement.

Working principle of a photoelectric colorimeter

A light source emits light at specific wavelengths, which interacts with the object surface through reflection and transmission. The light is reflected or absorbed by the sample, and the reflected light or remaining transmitted light is received by a photoelectric sensor (photocell or photodiode). The instrument converts the light intensity signal into an electrical signal, thereby measuring the LAB color values of the sample.

Inaccurate color rendering, mismatched results, and noncompliance with ISO 3664 or ASTM D1729 can occur when there are deviations.

a. If this phenomenon occurred, it means the battery power is not enough. You need to charge the battery.

b. When charge the battery, please insert the battery to the instrument, and plug in the adapter to charge the battery. After 5 minutes, the instrument can be turned on.

c. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can pull out the adapter and re-plug in to check it. Or repeat this operation.

d. If the instrument still cannot be turned on after charging 5 minutes, you can turn off the colorimeter and turn on it again to check it. Or repeat this operation.

e. If you have tried all the methods above but the colorimeter still cannot be turned on, please change the battery.

The Colour Assessment Cabinet (CAC) is a controlled environment used for the visual evaluation of color wherein the light sources are consistent.

Short Recommendation

  • Top lab accuracy: TS8560

  • Best value benchtop: TS8503

  • Portable production: ST70

  • Economical QC: NS800

All meet pharmaceutical standards for tablet color uniformity, coating consistency, and stability testing.


Smooth and uniform surfaces with a large amount of reflected light directly result in high gloss. Some of the factors are the smoothness of the surface, the type of paint that is being used, the thickness of the coating, and curing. The lesser the surface irregularities, the greater the gloss.
