Description

Why Triple Angle Measurement Matters

Surface gloss perception varies with viewing angle and finish type. AZA1298A integrates all three critical measurement angles to provide reliable analysis across different surface conditions:

  • 20° – High-gloss surfaces (automotive coatings, polished finishes)

  • 60° – Medium / semi-gloss surfaces (general industrial coatings)

  • 85° – Low-gloss and matte surfaces (interior paints, textured finishes)

This multi-angle capability eliminates the need for multiple instruments and enables fast, accurate comparison across varied materials.


Designed for Industrial & Laboratory Use

The AZA1298A features a precision optical system with advanced sensor technology and automatic calibration support. Its ergonomic, lightweight design allows comfortable single-hand operation, while the large backlit LCD ensures clear visibility even in bright environments.

Typical Applications

  • Paint & Coatings – Gloss consistency, surface appearance control
