FAQs About MS3008 Multi-angle spectrophotometer

Who are we? Threenh Technology: 22-Year Professional Color Measurement Solution Provider

Threenh Technology is a Chinese professional manufacturer with 22 years of industry experience, specializing in the field of color measurement and surface gloss detection. Integrating research and development, design, production, marketing, and sales, the company takes technological innovation as its core and is committed to providing global customers with high-precision and intelligent testing instruments as well as professional solutions.


You should not attempt measuring on surfaces that are dirty, oily, or rough, as these surfaces will not provide an accurate reading. Always calibrate the paint thickness tester and make sure to select the proper probe for the substrate as well. Proper execution will bring about consistency as well as trustworthiness to the readings.


Always a pre-production sample before mass production; Always final Inspection before shipment; 

A calorimeter is used to measure heat that is gained or lost during a chemical or physical reaction. A sample is taken in an insulated container, and a temperature change is measured. This assists in computing the alterations in energy by the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is heat.


In industrial production and quality control, color consistency is one of the core elements determining product quality. Whether it is the metallic paint for automobile coating, the dyeing effect of textile fabrics, or the ink matching in packaging and printing, subtle color deviations may lead to cost waste or damage to brand image.

The LAB color space defines colors with a three-dimensional model:

  1. Lightness (L): It indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from 0 (pure black) to 100 (pure white).

  2. Hue and Saturation (a and b):

    • The a-axis represents the red-green tendency, with positive values leaning towards red and negative values leaning towards green;

    • The b-axis represents the yellow-blue tendency, with positive values leaning towards yellow and negative values leaning towards blue.

It is a globally recognized standard and supported by most modern color measurement equipment. Color is quantitatively analyzed by measuring Lab values with instruments.


After receiving NH310/NH300, you have to perform white and black calibration manually when first starting.
