As one of the traditional Chinese handicrafts, porcelain is deeply loved by people for its unique texture and color. However, due to various reasons, color difference will occur

between porcelain. Color difference is one of the important indicators to measure the quality of porcelain, so it is very important to detect the color difference of porcelain. Colo

rimeter is an instrument used to detect color, which is widely used in various fields, including the detection of porcelain color difference. This article will explain in detail the

reasons why porcelain has color difference and introduce how colorimeter detects porcelain color difference.

1. Reasons for color difference in porcelain

1. Glaze difference

Glaze is a transparent or translucent glassy thin layer covering the surface of porcelain. Its composition and thickness directly affect the color of porcelain. Glazes from different

batches or different materials may produce color difference.

2. Firing process

The firing process of porcelain will also affect its color. Different kilns, firing temperatures, firing times, etc. may cause porcelain to have color difference.

3. Lighting conditions

The color of porcelain will be affected by lighting conditions. Different light colors and intensities will make porcelain present different color effects.

4. Observation angle and visual error

Observation angle and visual error can also cause color difference in porcelain. The colors seen will be different at different observation angles. In addition, the human eye's

perception of color can also produce errors due to factors such as fatigue and emotions.

2. Methods of using a colorimeter to detect color difference of porcelain

A colorimeter is an instrument based on optical principles. It measures the color of the surface of an object to reflect its true color. The following are the steps to use a colorimete

r to detect the color difference of porcelain:

1. Select a suitable colorimeter

Select a suitable colorimeter according to your needs, such as a spectrophotometer, colorimeter, etc. These instruments can measure the intensity of the three colors of red, green,

and blue on the surface of an object to obtain color data.

2. Set a standard white light source

The standard white light source is the basis for the colorimeter to measure color. Select a suitable standard white light source, such as D65, to ensure that the measured color

matches the standard color.

3. Calibrate the colorimeter

Before color measurement, the colorimeter needs to be calibrated. This can ensure the accuracy of the colorimeter and reduce measurement errors.

4. Measure the color of porcelain

The instrument test port fits the area where the color difference needs to be identified, ensuring that the color of the area is pure color and the area is larger than the size of the

instrument test port for measurement.

5. Compare with the standard sample

Compare the measured color data with the standard sample to determine whether there is a color difference. If there is color difference, it can be evaluated according to the de

gree of color difference.

Conclusion

In summary, the main reasons for the color difference of porcelain include glaze differences, firing process, lighting conditions, observation angles and visual errors. Using a

colorimeter to detect the color difference of porcelain can improve the control and evaluation of porcelain quality. By selecting a suitable colorimeter, setting a standard white light

source, calibrating the colorimeter, measuring the color of porcelain and comparing it with a standard sample, it is possible to accurately detect whether there is color difference in

porcelain. This is of great significance for daily appreciation of porcelain, evaluation of the quality of collections, and control of production processes.
