We receive more and more inquiry from textile customers to measure fabric, yarn, textile dyeing liquid, etc. Today we will introduce how to measure them by our bench-top spectrophotometer CS-820N.
We will introduce how to measure the color of fabric by textile spectrophotometer CS-820N.
Step 1. Prepare the Fabric Samples
Fabric Samples
Step 2. Measurement and Test Result
1. Do black and white calibration according to the instrument instruction then set instrument setting as follows.
1).Illuminant: D65 2).Standard Observer: 10 degree
3).Reflectance 4). Test Parameter: L*a*b and Delta E
5).Test Mode: SCI
2. Test Method: One sample measure one point to get the test result at single layer.
3. Textile Spectrophotometer CS-820N Test Result
Target Color Test Result
Sample Color Test Result
| Name | L | a | b |
| Target | 35.97 | 43.27 | 17.78 |
| Sample | 36.15 | 43.54 | 18.19 |
| Delta Value | 0.19 | 0.27 | 0.4 |
From the test result that we can know the color difference between target and sample are Delta E*ab 0.52. It is within the tolerance 1.0, so instrument shows pass.
Besides measuring fabric, textile spectrophotometer can also measure yarn, textile dyeing liquid. The following are the measurement pictures.
