FBGloss Meter
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
The FB is a portable gloss meter designed for measuring surface gloss on paints, lacquers, enamels, plastics and other smooth coated materials. It supports measurement geometries of 20°/20°, 45°/45°, 60°/60° and 85°/85°, as well as 45°/0° reflectance measurement (brightness), allowing the instrument to be used for high-, medium- and low-gloss surfaces and for specialized appearance testing.
Different measurement geometries make it possible to select the most appropriate configuration for the surface under inspection, improving the reliability of gloss evaluation across a wide range of coating finishes. The FB is suitable for production control, incoming inspection and laboratory testing where consistent appearance, coating quality and surface finish need to be verified.
The instrument supports both single and continuous measurement modes, with continuous acquisition of up to 120 readings per minute. Statistical processing, measurement data storage and USB data transfer simplify repeated measurements, batch comparison and documentation of inspection results.
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.
