75° High Precision Gloss Meter YG75 Product Features

 

1. Good operating experience

The streamlined curved surface design is more ergonomic, and it can maintain a comfortable grip even in daily or continuous work, effectively avoiding fatigue and bringing a good operating experience to users.

Good operating experience

2. Multi-mode measurement

Supports switching between basic mode, statistical mode, continuous mode, and quality control mode to adapt to different application scenarios. The normal mode allows for immediate measurement and fast readings; the quality control mode allows for custom upper and lower limits to achieve fast incoming material testing .

Multi-mode measurement

3. Low power consumption

A fully charged AA alkaline battery or NiMH rechargeable battery can measure more than 10,000 times.



4. Calibration function

Supports calibration and has the function of automatically checking the calibration standard plate to ensure the accuracy and reliability of long-term measurement.

Calibration function

FAQs About  Gloss meter

The most common standard measuring gloss is ASTM D523, which covers the procedures of using a gloss meter at 20°, 60°, and 85° angles. The other international standard that is widely used in industrial and laboratory applications is the ISO 2813.


Gloss level is not given out in percentage but in gloss units (GU). In practice, however, 100 GU is considered 100 percent reflective. To contrast visually, the 20-40 GU is a low-gloss surface, and 85 or more is almost 100 percent mirror-like reflection.


The gloss meter is used to measure the gloss level: it is a device that directs the light at a fixed angle and reads the intensity of the reflected light. The angles, such as 60°, 20°, or 85°, are applied depending on the type of surface and the range of gloss.


Readings of gloss meters in gloss units (GU) are used to measure shine on the surface. Low GU (0-10) is matte, 10-70 semi-gloss or satin, and above 70 is glossy. Measurement angle is given to the readings: 60° is the normal, 20° is the high gloss, and 85° is the low gloss.


 A gloss test gauges the reflective quality of a surface by casting light at a fixed angle and measuring the amount reflected. It defines the level of shine or dullness of a surface, and it is very crucial in coatings, automotive, and product finishing
