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. TheOn this picture you see our PCE-TCD 100 color meter, one of the most popular 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 Color meters for checking different colors 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. Color meters for different color spaces 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.
