Our Gloss Meter instruments measure surface gloss on plastics, rubber, coatings, packaging, paper, and automotive parts. They align with ISO 2813, ASTM D523, DIN 67530, and ASTM D2457. Built with precision machining and reliability-focused electronics, they provide stable Gloss Unit (GU) readings and seamless data capture. We supply portable, benchtop, and inline options, plus OEM customization, to fit production, labs, and quality control.
Choose the right gloss meter for your workflow, from handheld inspections to automated line monitoring. All models offer traceable calibration and stable repeatability for factory, QA, and R&D scenarios.
Compact and quick to operate, these handheld units are ideal for on-site checks and incoming inspection. They support 60° general use or 20°/60°/85° multi-angle options, with single-button readings, onboard memory, and temperature-compensated optics for consistent results.
For labs and QA rooms, benchtop models deliver higher stability, larger sample support, and advanced statistics. Optional fixtures hold irregular or curved parts for R&D and certification work to ISO 2813 and ASTM D523.
Designed for continuous monitoring, inline sensors mount on the production line and connect to PLCs via RS-485/Modbus or Ethernet. Real-time data enables closed-loop control to reduce rework, while rugged enclosures handle dust, vibration, and temperature changes.
Use 60° for most surfaces, 20° for high-gloss finishes, and 85° for low-gloss or matte substrates. Multi-angle setups capture a broader gloss profile for coatings and plastics. Instruments are verified with certified tiles and procedures aligned with ISO 2813, ASTM D523, DIN 67530, ASTM D2457, and optional ISO 8254-1 for paper.
Typical performance includes range up to 1000 GU, 0.1 GU resolution, and repeatability around ±0.2 GU, with fast measurement time and stable optics. Options include auto-calibration with certified tiles, temperature compensation, large memory, USB/RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet interfaces, and PC software for reporting.
Measure paint and coatings on automotive parts, monitor plastic and rubber components, and verify wire and cable jacket finish. Check packaging and paper print quality, and track gloss before and after UV/Xenon aging, salt spray, or thermal stress to assess appearance and performance over time.
Each instrument ships with traceable calibration tiles and clear procedures. Our ISO 9001-certified processes and dedicated labs support long-term stability; periodic verification, replacement tiles, and training help maintain measurement integrity at your sites.
OEM options cover geometry, optics, data interfaces (USB, RS-485/Modbus, Ethernet), and mounting fixtures. For inline use, we provide sensor heads, protective enclosures, and integration support with PLCs and MES; custom holders and software workflows streamline lab routines.
Common specs include range 0–1000 GU, 0.1 GU resolution, repeatability ±0.2 GU, geometry-specific apertures (20°/60°/85°), warm-up-free operation, auto-zero, and connectivity via USB, RS-232, RS-485/Modbus, or Ethernet.
We offer global delivery, installation guidance for inline systems, application training, and ongoing service. Contact our Gloss Meter manufacturer support team to discuss your workflow or request a quote.
Complement gloss testing with haze and DOI meters, color measurement (spectrophotometers), surface roughness testers, and environmental chambers for UV/Xenon aging, thermal shock, and salt spray.
Q: Which measurement angle should I use?
A: Use 60° for most surfaces, 20° for high-gloss, and 85° for matte. Follow your material or standard (ISO 2813/ASTM D523) where specified.
Q: How often should I verify calibration?
A: Check with the certified tile daily or per your procedure, keep the tile clean, and schedule periodic verification to maintain traceability.
