The TS8500-E is used for accurate and objective colour measurement and quality control of paints, coatings, and metal finished surfaces. It helps manufacturers and applicators compare production samples against colour standards and monitor colour consistency across batches and panels. Which paint, coating and metal samples can the TS8500-E measure? The instrument can measure a wide range of samples, including liquid paints, powder coatings, wet coating films, painted metal panels, and plated or anodized metal surfaces. Optional accessories support liquid sample testing and measurement of curved or specialised parts. What are SCI and SCE measurement modes, and why do they matter for coatings and metals? **SCI (Specular Component Included) measures colour including reflected specular light, while SCE (Specular Component Excluded) measures colour with specular reflection excluded. These modes are particularly important for paint and metal coating surfaces, where gloss level can significantly affect perceived colour.** How does the TS8500-E help with colour quality control in paint and metal finishing? The TS8500-E converts visual colour assessment into precise, measurable colour data, making it easier to identify colour deviations, match paint formulations, compare coated panels, and maintain consistent colour appearance across production batches and coating lines. What features does the TS8500-E offer for paint and metal colour measurement? The TS8500-E features dual-array CMOS sensors, multiple measurement apertures, SCI/ SCE modes, multiple colour spaces, colour-difference calculations, touchscreen operation, and automatic calibration for efficient, repeatable colour measurement across paints, coatings, and metal surfaces. ## Related Machines [⌊TS7700 Portable Spectrophotometer⌉⌊TS7700 Portable Spectrophotometer⌉[ [TS7700 Portable Spectrophotometer](https://flexitest.in/plastic-and-polymer/flexitest-colour-measurement-solutions/ts7700-grating-spectrophotometer/) Portable reflected-colour and colour-difference quality control on opaque plastic and polymer surfaces. d/8° (SCI/SCE), UV incl./excl.
