Application and measurement procedure of color difference meter in metal film color difference detection

The color of metallic films can affect their aesthetic appeal, especially when they are used for decorative or architectural purposes. Metallic films are often applied to surfaces such as automotive components, consumer electronics, or building exteriors to provide a visually appealing appearance. The importance of a consistent color appearance cannot be overemphasized to ensure that the metallic film meets the desired aesthetic standards, matches other components or finishes, and achieves the desired visual effect.

In addition, the color of the metal film will also affect its functional properties. For example, metallic films used in automotive or architectural applications may need to meet certain color specifications to comply with regulations or standards, such as reflectivity, solar heat gain, or optical performance requirements. Accurate color measurements help ensure that metallic films meet these performance specifications and perform optimally in their intended applications.

In addition, the color difference test of the metal film is also helpful for the quality control in the manufacturing process. Metallic films are usually produced in batches or rolls, and color variations may occur due to factors such as production parameters, material properties or environmental conditions. Regular color difference testing can help detect any variation or deviation in color for timely adjustment or correction to ensure consistent color quality of the final product.

The application and measurement steps of the Colorimeter in the detection of the color difference of the metal film are shown in Fig. 1

The Colorimeter can accurately measure the color and appearance of the metal film in the color difference detection of the metal film for quality control and quality assurance. The following are the application and measurement steps of the Colorimeter in the detection of metal film color difference:

application:

  • Determine the color and shade of metallic films to determine the quality and consistency of metallic coatings.

  • Measure the transmittance and reflectance of metal thin films.

  • Evaluate the appearance of metallic films such as surface quality, gloss, etc.

Measurement steps:

  1. Before measurement, calibrate the Colorimeter to the appropriate conditions, such as: light source type, viewing angle, standard color, etc.

  2. Place the sample in the measurement area to ensure that there is no light interference between the sample and the Colorimeter.

  3. Press the measurement key and wait for the Colorimeter to complete the measurement and display the result.

  4. According to the displayed results, compare the difference between the sample and the standard value, determine the color and color difference of the metal film, and the appearance quality.

  5. Record measurements and save data for later reference and analysis.
