Gloss is measured in gloss units (GU) this is traceable to reference standards held at NIST (USA).

High Gloss: 20°  The acute measurement angle of 20° gives improved resolution for high gloss surfaces. Surfaces that measure 70GU and above at the standard angle of 60° are often measured with this geometry. The 20° angle is more sensitive to haze effects that affect the appearance of a surface.

Universal Measurement Angle: 60° All gloss levels can be measured using the standard measurement angle of 60°. This is used as the reference angle with the complimentary angles of 85° and 20° often used for low and high gloss levels respectively.

Low Gloss: 85° For improved resolution of low gloss a grazing angle of 85° is used to measure the surface. This angle is recommended for surfaces which measure less than 10GU when measured at 60°. This angle also has a larger measurement spot which will average out differences in the gloss of textured or slightly uneven surfaces.

Measurement Fast measurement of all parameters. Full on-board statistics with graphical trend analysis and reporting.

Simultaneous measurement of all parameters, results are date and time stamped.

Graphical reporting for quick trend analysis.

Displays full statistics for the number of readings in the current batch.

Pass / fail parameters can be defined for instant identification of non-conformances.

Easy Batching User definable batch names and batch sizes for quicker and more efficient reporting.

Rapid data transfer Software-free data transfer USB connection to PC instantly recognises the device as a drive location which facilitates the quick transfer of files using Windows Explorer or similar.
