Measurement Techniques
How to Measure Powder-Coated Metal
Measure powder-coated metal with controlled substrate, film build, cure, gloss, texture, orientation and sampling so color data represents the finished coating.

Color QC for Plastic Suppliers and Manufacturers
Align plastic suppliers and manufacturers on standards, specimens, instrument settings, sampling, tolerances, data exchange and dispute resolution.
Technical guide · Read the guide →SCI & SCE
Measuring Glossy Plastics
Measure glossy plastic color with a fixed specular condition, clean handling, controlled orientation and a separate gloss requirement where appearance depends on both.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Measurement Techniques
Measuring Transparent and Translucent Plastics
Choose transmission or controlled backed reflectance for transparent and translucent plastics, with thickness, scattering, haze and specimen position defined.
Technical guide · Read the guide →SCI & SCE
Measuring Textured Plastics
Measure textured plastic parts with a sufficiently large aperture, controlled orientation, multiple locations and a defined SCI/SCE condition.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Measurement Techniques
Measuring Masterbatch Color
Control masterbatch color by defining whether pellets, a standard let-down plaque or the final polymer application is the release specimen.
Technical guide · Read the guide →Measurement Techniques
Measuring Plastic Pellets and Granules
Measure plastic pellets and granules with representative sampling, controlled cup depth, packing and repeat preparations while keeping pellet and final-part specifications separate.

Measuring Injection-Moulded Parts
Measure injection-moulded plastic parts with controlled locations, orientation, backing, conditioning and process context so color data represents production.

How to Measure Color in Powders and Granules
Powder and granule color measurement depends on representative sampling, optical opacity, controlled cup depth, packing, particle size and independent preparations.

How to Measure Color in Liquids
Liquid color measurement requires the correct transmission or reflectance mode, controlled path length, clean cells, a defined blank and a scale suited to the product.

How to Measure Small Parts and Small Color Samples
Small-part color measurement depends on the true viewed and illuminated areas, precise targeting, controlled backing and a fixture that reproduces position and angle.

How to Measure Color on Textured Surfaces
Reliable color measurement on textured surfaces requires a defined geometry, large enough aperture, controlled orientation and a sampling plan that represents spatial variation.
