The Tintometer Limited was founded in 1896 [1] by Joseph Williams Lovibond, the son of a prominent brewery owner in Greenwich, London.J.W. Lovibond developed the world's first practical colorimeter as a means of ensuring the high quality of his beer.
In 1885 he founded a company, The Tintometer Limited, [2] to manufacture his colorimeter which was called the Lovibond Comparator. The company still exists and still produces an updated version of the Lovibond comparator.
The Lovibond comparator is an example of a colorimeter made in Britain by The Tintometer Ltd. It was invented in the 19th century by Joseph Williams Lovibond and updated versions are still available.
"Degrees Lovibond" or "°L" scale is a measure of the colour of a substance, usually beer, whiskey, or sugar solutions. The determination of the degrees Lovibond takes place by comparing the colour of the substance to a series of amber to brown glass slides, usually by a colorimeter.

A colorimeter is a device used to test the concentration of a solution by measuring its absorbance of a specific wavelength of light. To use this device, different solutions must be made, and a control (usually a mixture of distilled water and another solution) is first filled into a cuvette and placed inside a colorimeter to calibrate the machine.
The Platinum-Cobalt Scale (Pt/Co scale or Apha-Hazen Scale) is a color scale that was introduced in 1892 by chemist Allen Hazen (1869–1930). The index was developed as a way to evaluate pollution levels in waste water.
