Description

Description

Gloss Meter triple angle gloss tester delivers accurate surface gloss measurement across critical angles of 20°, 60°, and 85°, making it an essential tool in industries where surface aesthetics, reflectivity, and uniform finish matter. Whether in automotive coatings, plastic manufacturing, furniture finishing, or painted surfaces, this meter ensures consistency and quality control in accordance with international standards like ASTM D523 and ISO 2813.

 Why Triple Angle Matters

The human eye perceives gloss differently depending on the viewing angle and surface finish.

  • 20°: High-gloss surfaces (e.g., luxury car coatings)

  • 60°: Semi-gloss/mid-range surfaces

  • 85°: Low-gloss/matte surfaces (e.g., interior walls)

This gloss meter integrates all three angles in one device, allowing fast comparisons and reliable analysis across various materials. It’s perfect for multi-surface inspection where standard gloss testers fall short.

 Designed for Industrial & Lab Use

With a precision-engineered optical sensor and auto-calibration feature, this gloss meter provides repeatable, traceable results. The ergonomic design supports single-hand operation, while the anti-glare display makes readings visible in bright conditions.

Key industries:

  • Paint & Coating: Quality assurance for visual appeal and texture

  • Automotive: OEM gloss level compliance and part matching

  • Furniture & Flooring: Wood finish gloss grading

  • Plastic & Film: Gloss uniformity and reflection checks

Easy Operation & Smart Features

  • Instant measurement with one-button trigger

  • Results displayed in gloss units (GU)

  • Calibration reference tile included

  • Built-in memory stores thousands of readings

  • USB data export for report generation

The built-in battery supports extended field use, and it charges via standard USB. Its lightweight body ensures fatigue-free use during long inspection runs.

Compliant & Certified

The device complies with:

This makes the meter ideal not just for internal QC teams, but also for third-party auditors and regulatory verifications.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):

Q1: What is the difference between 20°, 60°, and 85° measurements?
A1: These represent the angle of light reflection used for different surface types. 20° is ideal for high-gloss, 60° for semi-gloss, and 85° for matte surfaces.

Q2: Can I use this gloss meter on curved surfaces?
A2: While it is best suited for flat surfaces, small curvature is acceptable. For precise curved surface analysis, specialized instruments are recommended.

Q3: Does it require frequent calibration?
A3: It includes a calibration tile and supports both auto and manual calibration to maintain accuracy.

Q4: Is the data export compatible with Excel?
A4: Yes, the USB interface allows exporting stored data in Excel-compatible formats for easy reporting and tracking.

Q5: Can I use it outdoors?
A5: Yes, the meter is portable and suitable for field use with its anti-glare screen and long battery life.
