FAQs of Gardner Colour Reference Standard:

Q: How is the Gardner Colour Reference Standard used in the laboratory?

A: Place the appropriate glass disc in a comparator and visually match it with your liquid sample to assess its color according to the Gardner 118 scale. This process supports accurate color evaluation and quality control tasks.

Q: What benefits does the Gardner Colour Reference Standard offer over liquid standards?

A: Unlike liquid color standards, these glass discs are permanent, fade-resistant, and maintenance-free. They ensure consistent, reproducible results and eliminate the risk of degradation or contamination that can affect liquid samples.

Q: When should the Gardner Colour Reference Standard be calibrated or replaced?

A: These optical glass discs do not require calibration or replacement under normal conditions, as they are engineered for permanent use, provided they are stored properly and remain free from scratches or contamination.

Q: Where should the Gardner Reference discs be stored to maintain their accuracy?

A: Store the set in its provided protective case, in a cool, dry location. This helps prevent scratching or contamination, preserving their accuracy and appearance for years.

Q: What types of samples are suitable for Gardner Colour Reference evaluation?

A: The set is suitable for use with transparent or slightly turbid liquids such as oils, resins, paints, and similar industrial materials where Gardner color scale measurement is required.

Q: What process does the Gardner Colour Reference Standard support in quality control?

A: It provides a visual, standardized reference for color comparison, aiding in the calibration of color measuring instruments and ensuring batch-to-batch color consistency during manufacturing or laboratory analysis.

Q: Is the Gardner Colour Reference Standard safe and environmentally friendly?

A: Yes, the discs are made from non-toxic optical glass and pigments, are odourless, insoluble, and classified as non-poisonous, making them safe to handle and environmentally sound.
