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
-
