About Elcometer 407L Glossmeter

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of wide gamut of optical instruments.The Combining accurate gloss measurement with state of the art electronics the new Elcometer 407L Dual and Triple Angle Glossmeters have the ability to measure almost any surface finish from high gloss to matt - at different measurement angles (20, 60 and 85 degree reflective angles).

407l glossmeter

The individual gloss measurement values, together with the date and time of measurement, can be stored into the Elcometer 407L's internal memory. On board statistics provide the user with the highest, lowest, average and standard deviation for each batch of data.

User definable limits provide the User with instant feedback whether the surface finish is acceptable or should be rejected.

All Elcometer 407L glossmeters have USB and Bluetooth data output which allows readings to download to the ElcoMaster 2.0 Data Management Software (supplied with each gauge). Users can now generate instant professional gloss inspection reports, or combine gloss readings with climatic and dry film thickness measurements in one summary report.

About Gloss Measurement

The ability of a surface to reflect light without scattering is known as gloss. Gloss is measured by directing a constant intensity light beam at a fixed angle to the test surface and the subsequent amount of reflected light, at the same angle, is determined and represented by a value in GU's (gloss units).

The angle of reflectance required to measure gloss is dependant on the surface finish highly reflective surfaces typically require a low angle of reflectance (20 degrees) matt surfaces typically require high angles of reflectance (85 degrees).

FAQs of Elcometer 407L Glossmeter:

Q: How does the Elcometer 407L Glossmeter measure surface gloss?

A: The Elcometer 407L uses a reflective optical measurement principle at a 60 angle to assess the gloss level of surfaces. It evaluates how much light is reflected from a surface, quantifying the result in gloss units (GU), ideal for paints, coatings, and plastics.

Q: What is the process for calibrating the Elcometer 407L Glossmeter?

A: Calibration is performed using the included standard calibration tile. Users follow the simple instructions in the manual to ensure the device delivers accurate and repeatable measurements before each use.

Q: When should I use stored readings, and how can I access them?

A: Stored readings are useful for quality control and record-keeping, especially when multiple measurements are taken over time. The glossmeter can store up to 254 readings, which you can access directly on the LCD display or transfer to a PC via the RS232C interface using optional software.

Q: Where can the Elcometer 407L be used?

A: This glossmeter is suitable for both laboratory and field environments, supporting reliable measurement even in demanding conditions. Its durable casing and battery operation allow for use across various industrial and commercial settings.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this device for gloss measurement?

A: The Elcometer 407L provides fast, accurate gloss readings, is highly portable, easy to calibrate, and supports extensive data storage. Its long battery life and robust design make it dependable for repeated use in different environments.

Q: How is the Elcometer 407L powered, and what is its typical battery life?

A: The instrument uses two standard AA batteries, which provide more than 50 hours of continuous operation, ensuring extended portability without frequent battery changes.
