Gloss Meter – Triple Angle Models AZA1298A
The AZA1298A Triple Angle Gloss Meter is a high-precision surface gloss measurement instrument designed for professional quality control, inspection, and compliance testing. It measures surface gloss accurately at 20°, 60°, and 85°, covering high-gloss, semi-gloss, and matte finishes in a single compact device.
Engineered for industrial, laboratory, and field applications, AZA1298A ensures consistent, repeatable, and standards-compliant gloss evaluation across a wide range of materials.
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.
