PCE Instruments PCE-RAL 40 Colorimeter

The RAL Color Meter is used to measure colors and allows to determine the color difference between a measured sample and a color standard. The result shows the three colors closest to the sample, based on a selected color palette or LAB color space values. The compact vertical design of the RAL-color meter makes measurements possible on small areas from a minimum measuring area of 32 x 20 mm.

The color sensor system works with white LED light and 45°/0° geometry, with the sample illuminated below 45° and the detector mounted perpendicular to the surface. The measurement provides an analog color difference between sample and sample. The measurement accuracy is on average 99.5% based on two measurements and about 95% at the first optimum adjustment. The RAL color measuring device has an LCD display with battery level indicator, color palette information and menu functions. It supports multiple languages and offers functions such as multiple measurements, contrast measurement (LRV) and automatic switch-off.

The software and color palettes can be updated via Wi-Fi. The power is supplied either via two AA batteries or via the USB-C interface, so that the RAL color measuring device can also be operated directly via a USB-C power supply without inserted batteries. The RAL Color Meter is suitable for color control and color matching in areas such as painting, printing, production, quality control and surface inspection and is particularly used by professionals who need to compare colors quickly and reliably with color standards.
