Description

Short description
  • 45° glossmeter for all gloss applications
  • Specialist angle for the measurement of films and ceramics
  • Full colour easy to read screen
  • Easy reporting


Features
  • Ultra-fast measurement time
  • Time and date stamped results
  • Measurement results in GU or in % reflectivity
  • Automatic tile detection for faster calibration
  • Full on-board statistics
  • Graphical trend analysis of results for simple reporting
  • Easy batching – user definable batch size and names for efficient measurement of multiple samples
  • Software-free data transfer of measurements and batches
  • Direct data input via Bluetooth – transmit each measured reading directly into Microsoft Excel or other programs
  • Pass / Fail for easy identification of non-conformances
  • Auto-ranging, suitable for measuring matt to mirror finishes
  • Compliant to major international standards such as ASTM C346
  • Calibrate to any standard (from low gloss to mirror finish)


Measurement angles & context
  • 45° measuring angle: speciality angle recommended for plastic films and solid plastic parts (in accordance with ASTM D2457 and ASTM C346)
  • 60° measurement angle: universal reference angle suitable for most gloss levels
  • 20° measurement angle: acute angle for improved resolution on high gloss surfaces (used when surfaces measure ~70 GU and above at 60°)
  • 85° measurement angle: grazing angle for low gloss surfaces and textured/uneven surfaces (recommended when surfaces measure less than ~10 GU at 60°)
  • Gloss is measured in gloss units (GU) and is traceable to reference standards


Applications
  • Ceramics
  • Metal finishing and polished metal
  • Plastics and plastic films
  • Automotive (exterior and refinish)
  • Furniture and wood coatings
  • Polished stone
  • Powder coating
  • Printing inks and printed cartons
  • Textiles
  • Consumer electronics (device covers)
