Abstract: A method of verifying the color and tinting strength of a manufactured batch of a semi-transparent wood stain. In accordance with the method, a standard batch of the wood stain is formed and then mixed with a specified amount of a white colorant to form a standard measurement batch. A test sample of the manufactured batch is obtained and is also mixed with a specified amount of the white colorant to form a test measurement sample. Layers of the standard measurement batch and the test measurement sample are formed on the substrates and complete hide obtained. Reflectance measurements of the layers are made using a spectrophotometer. The reflectance measurements are used to determine if the color and the tinting strength of the manufactured batch is within an acceptable deviation range of the color and tinting strength of the standard batch. This allows for objective color difference and tint strength difference calculations, and adjustments can be made therefrom, therefore eliminating the past visual trial and error methods.

Abstract: The present invention discloses testing turfgrass samples in a spectrophotometer. The resulting color output is provided to a processor for determining the quantitative color scale. The resultant output of the processor might be a single number 1 through 9—depending on the relative “greenness” of the tested turfgrass. To determine the standardized number, the processor compares the received color output from the spectrophotometer to a first stored set of values. Additionally, the received color output can be compared to a second stored set of values to predictively determine if adjusting certain nutrients, water, fertilizer, etc. will result in beneficial or other desired results in the turf. The first and second stored set of values or data is empirically established. In addition, a sealed turfgrass sample as a check or calibration sample, in connection with the use of NIRS equipment to determine instrument performance. The daily use of sealed turfgrass check samples allows the operators to determine the instrument performance and monitor deterioration of the turfgrass check sample. The variability is then incorporated in the future calibration to improve the accuracy and the validity of the NIRS measurements.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring color transmissivities of a color separation prism P includes (where the color separation prism P receives a measurement light S on an incident path and emits three color lights Sr, Sg and Sb on three exit paths of different directions): a photomultiplier 21 and an integrating sphere I for measuring an intensity of light entering the integrating sphere I on an entrance path, where the entrance path is set detached from an extension of the incident path; a first movable mirror 9 located in one of four paths including an extension of the incident path and the three exit paths for reflecting the light on each path to the second movable mirror 10; and a second movable mirror 10 placed on the entrance path of the integrating sphere I (with the photomultiplier 21) and oriented in one of four directions for reflecting the light from the first movable mirror 9 to the integrating sphere I. Because the 100%-transmission light and the three color lights transmitted through the color separation prism P undergo the same optical history, absolute transmissivities of the color lights can be measured, and the two-beam method can be used since the integrating sphere I is fixed.
