About Gloss Meters
These portable and precise gloss meters are suitable for both production and laboratory settings, to measure gloss levels of paint and coatings, plastics, automotive parts, flooring, paper, packaging material, ceramics etc.
In definition, gloss is a measure of the proportion of light which has a specular reflection from the surface. The variables that affect gloss are the refractive index of the material, the angle of incident light and the surface topography (structure/smoothness/roughness). Materials with smooth surfaces appear glossy, while rough surfaces reflect no or little specular light and therefore appear matt or flat.
In order to get the best stability the gloss meter’s unique double frame system has been engineered with the highest precision. Carefully controlling the interior of the light patch helps to give the gloss meter robust and stable structure. Each gloss meter is a solid well-engineered product. To assess the quality of the gloss meters thousands of readings on certified substrates have been taken to test stability, reliability and durability. With or without shock testing the each gloss meter proved to have the ultimate level of performance.
The three common angles are 20°, 60° & 85°; these cover most industrial coating applications.
Sologloss Meter
The 60° single-angle Sologloss instrument is the preferred instrument for gloss measurements in the semi-gloss range. Suitable for most applications, light source and detector are positioned under an angle of 60° of the surface to be measured.
Polygloss Meter
The top of the range Polygloss meter is a triple angle instrument covering 20°, 60° & 85° angles thus covering the entire gloss-spectrum. For better gloss measurements on high gloss surfaces the 20° angle while for low gloss surfaces the 85° measuring angle suits best.
Ideal Finish Analysis Software is included in the package to analyse the measurement results. This software gives the user the power to do all analysis of interest. Trend, Gaus and many other statistical evaluation are possible.
