Digital Design and Implementation of Measuring Oil Color

Abstract:

This paper introduces an automatic Lovibond colorimeter, which is a system of color measuring, the TCS2300D color sensor and STC12C5A60S2 microcontroller are the cores of the system. The color sensor got the data of samples, and sent to microcontroller, by the bilinear interpolation algorithm, data for RGB color space was converted to the Lovibond color space [1], and last displayed on the tubes. The experimental results showed that automatic Lovibond colorimeter had good correlation with the Lovibond visual method, and the data read from the tubes was stable. With the advantages of low cost, simple operation, short measurement period that the colorimeter will be widely applied to the determination of oil color.
