Certified Color Reference Standards for Oils, Fuels & Chemicals

These CRMs are ideal for routine calibration of color measuring instruments, verification of test data and ensuring good inter-laboratory or inter-instrument correlation. The range of liquid standards includes AOCS-Tintometer, ASTM, Gardner, Lovibond RYBN, Pt-Co and Saybolt Color, the key color scales applied to oils, fuels & chemicals.

They are supplied with full traceability to internationally recognized standards, either UKAS to ISO 17025 (ASTM, Gardner & Saybolt Color) or the ISO 9001 quality system (AOCS-Tintometer, Lovibond RYBN & Pt-Co Color). Each standard
comes in a 500 ml bottle with a 12-month guarantee of color stability and full certification including MSDS.
