About Specular Gloss Meter

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of wide gamut of Colour Appearance test and measurement instruments.

Colour and Gloss are two key parameters that are used to define a product's overall quality. The ability of a surface to reflect light without scattering is known as gloss. Using a gloss meter, gloss is measured by directing a constant intensity light beam at a fixed angle to the test surface and then by monitoring the amount of reflected light at the same angle. Different surfaces require different reflective angles.

Gloss meters are mainly used in the surface gloss measurement for paint, plastic, metal, ceramics, building materials and so on. Our gloss meter conform to the DIN 67530, ISO 2813, ASTM D 523, JIS Z8741, BS 3900 Part D5, JJG696 standards and so on.

FAQs of Specular Gloss Meter:

Q: How do I calibrate the Specular Gloss Meter before use?

A: Calibration is effortless with the gloss meters one-touch automatic calibration feature. Simply press the calibration button prior to testing, and the instrument will calibrate itself automatically, ensuring accurate measurements each time.

Q: What process does the meter use to measure gloss levels on specimens?

A: The meter employs a 60 fixed geometry with a long-life LED light source and measures the reflected light from the specimen. Place your sample on the test bench, initiate the manual control, and the device provides a digital gloss unit reading within 0.5 seconds.

Q: When should I use this gloss meter instead of other types?

A: This gloss meter is ideal when you require reliable, precise gloss values for flat surfaces such as coatings, plastics, and ceramics in the 0200 GU range. Its stable results and easy calibration make it suitable for routine quality control and laboratory testing.

Q: Where can this meter be installed or used effectively?

A: The gloss meters compact, bench-top mounting makes it perfect for use in laboratories, quality control departments, and production environments. Its portability means you can also transport it easily between locations as needed.

Q: What is the benefit of the fixed 60 measuring angle?

A: The 60 angle is an international standard for gloss measurement across various surfaces, providing consistent and comparable data. It is widely recognized in industrial gloss testing and ensures results are relevant for coatings, plastics, and similar materials.

Q: How many specimens can I measure at once and what is the recommended size?

A: The device is designed to test one specimen at a time, with an optimal sample size of 100 mm by 50 mm. This ensures reliable contact and enhances the repeatability and accuracy of your gloss measurements.
