GLOSS METER – TRIPLE ANGLE MODELS AZA1298A

The AZA1298A Triple Angle Gloss Meter from AZA LAB is a high-precision surface gloss measurement instrument designed for professional quality control, laboratory testing, production inspection, and standards-compliant surface evaluation.

The instrument measures gloss simultaneously at the three internationally recognized geometries:

  • 20°
  • 60°
  • 85°

allowing accurate assessment of high-gloss, semi-gloss, satin, and matte surfaces using a single compact handheld device.

Engineered for industrial, laboratory, and field applications, the AZA1298A delivers highly repeatable and reliable gloss measurements in Gloss Units (GU) while supporting haze and DOI (Distinctness of Image) analysis for advanced surface characterization.

Its advanced optical system, integrated data storage, USB connectivity, and ergonomic portable design make it ideal for paints, coatings, automotive, plastics, furniture, packaging, ceramics, flooring, and industrial finishing industries.

STANDARDS COMPLIANCE

The AZA1298A fully complies with internationally recognized gloss measurement standards:

  • ASTM D523
  • ISO 2813
  • GB/T 9754

This ensures suitability for:

  • International audits
  • OEM approvals
  • Export manufacturing
  • Regulatory quality verification

WHY TRIPLE ANGLE MEASUREMENT MATTERS

Surface appearance changes significantly depending on gloss level and viewing geometry.

The AZA1298A integrates all three standard gloss measurement angles into one instrument for complete surface analysis.

20° GEOMETRY

Ideal for:

  • High-gloss automotive coatings
  • Polished surfaces
  • Lacquer finishes
  • Mirror-like materials

60° GEOMETRY

General-purpose measurement for:

  • Industrial coatings
  • Semi-gloss finishes
  • Standard paint applications
  • General QC testing

85° GEOMETRY

Designed for:

  • Matte finishes
  • Low-gloss coatings
  • Textured surfaces
  • Interior decorative paints

This eliminates the need for multiple gloss meters and allows direct comparison across different material finishes.
