Joseph Williams Lovibond

Joseph Williams Lovibond (1833-1918) was a British brewer who developed the world's first practical colorimeter as a means of ensuring the high quality of his beer. He was the originator of the Degrees Lovibond scale.

Business

In 1885 he founded a company, The Tintometer Limited, to manufacture his colorimeter which was called the "Lovibond Comparator". The company still exists and still produces an updated version of the Lovibond comparator.
