Gloss meter FB
Gloss meter FB
The FB is a portable gloss meter for objective measurement of surface gloss on paints, lacquers, enamels and other coated materials. It supports 20°, 45°, 60° and 85° gloss geometries, as well as 45°/0° reflectance measurement, allowing evaluation of high-, medium- and low-gloss surfaces.
Designed for production control, incoming inspection and laboratory testing, the FB is suitable for coatings, plastics, painted products and other smooth surfaces where consistent appearance and surface finish must be verified.
Description
Measurement of gloss in paints, lacquers, enamels, and other materials within the visible spectrum, quantifying gloss levels at illumination and observation angles of 20°/20°, 45°/45°, 60°/60°, and 85°/85°, as well as measuring reflection factor (brightness) at 45°/0°.
Features
- two measurement modes: single measurement at the press of a button and continuous measurement at up to 120 readings per minute.
- three data processing modes: statistics (display of statistical data during measurement), memory (group-based data storage), and no processing.
- the gloss meter is equipped with a 1.8-inch TFT display.
- data transfer capability: saved data can be exported to a PC via USB.
