NOVO-GLOSS series, single angle, double angle, and triangular gloss meters
The NOVO-GLOSS series gloss meter is an upgraded version of the Novo Gloss Lite/NGL small gloss meter and Novo Gloss TRIO/NGT triangular gloss meter. It is compatible with single angle 60 °, dual angle 20/60 °, or triangular 20/60/85 ° versions, greatly improving the accuracy and resolution of the instrument.
The performance of the gloss meter has been comprehensively improved
Why measure gloss?
Gloss is one aspect of visual perception, and when considering the psychological impact of a product on consumers, it is equally important as color.
It is defined as a 'surface attribute' that gives an object an approximate glowing or glossy metallic appearance.
The glossiness of an object's surface can be influenced by many factors, such as the smoothness after polishing, the number and type of coatings used, and the quality of the substrate.
Manufacturers constantly innovate and design glossy products such as highly reflective car panels, dazzling magazine covers, and satin black fashionable furniture to maximize consumer attention.
Glossiness is important for products, therefore, it can be obtained by continuously testing each product or different batches of products to obtain glossiness values.
Gloss can also be used to measure surface quality, for example: a decrease in glossiness of a surface coating indicates that the surface may need to be reprocessed; Other factors that can cause a decrease in glossiness include low viscosity of the coating or insufficient surface coating quantity.
It is precisely because of these factors that many manufacturing industries, from automobiles, printing, furniture to food, pharmaceuticals, electronic products, etc., require gloss testing of their products.
How is gloss measured?
The measurement of gloss is achieved by shining a certain amount of light on the surface of an object, and then quantifying the amount of reflected light. The testing method for the angle and reflection of light is determined by the surface and appearance of the object.
How to choose the appropriate angle?
The NOVO-GLOSS gloss meter complies with ISO 2813 and ASTM D523 (universal standard), and can fully cover and measure the gloss of all surfaces at three angles.
The unit of gloss is (GU), which can be traced back to the reference standards of BAM (Germany), NRC (Canada), and NPL (UK).
Medium gloss (universal angle): 60 °
60 ° is a measurement angle applicable to all surfaces. It is also used as a reference angle for measuring surfaces with low gloss of 85 ° and high gloss of 20 °.
Low gloss: 85 °
To improve the resolution of low gloss surfaces. Gloss can be measured at an angle of 85 °. When the surface glossiness value of an object measured at 60 ° is less than 10GU, it is recommended to use an angle of 85 ° for measurement.
When measuring different gloss textures or slightly uneven surfaces at 85 °, multiple point measurements should be taken to take the average.
High gloss: 20 °
A measurement angle of 20 ° can improve the resolution of high gloss surfaces. When the surface luminosity value of an object measured at 60 ° is higher than 70GU, it is recommended to use a 20 ° angle for measurement.
The 20 ° angle (optical path) is highly sensitive to the phenomenon of surface haze on objects. Because fog shadow is a phenomenon unique to high gloss surfaces.
If you need to measure haze (HAZE), transparency (DOI), imaging quality (RIQ), and other surface texture structures, please use the Rhopoint IQ multifunctional surface optical detector.
