Measure Gloss with the Correct Gloss Meter:
High Gloss Surfaces - 20°
High gloss surfaces are very smooth and highly polished surfaces that reflect images distinctly. The incident light is directly reflected on the surface, i.e. only in the main direction of reflection. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The standard measuring angle for this type of surface is 20° and the ideal gloss meter is the Novo-Gloss Dualgloss.
Semi Gloss Surfaces - 60°
On semi smooth surfaces the light is diffusely scattered somewhat in all directions. The image forming qualities are diminished: A reflected object no longer appears super brilliant, but semi blurred.
The more uniform the light is scattered, the less intense will be the reflection in the main direction and the duller the surface will appear. The normal measuring angle for this type of surface is 60° and the ideal gloss meter is the Novo-Gloss 60°
Low Gloss Surfaces - 85°
On rougher surfaces the light is diffusely scattered in all directions. The image forming qualities are much diminished: A reflected object no longer appears brilliant, but almost non-existent. The standard measuring angle for this type of surface is 85° and the ideal gloss meter is the Novo-Gloss Trigloss
Multiple Finish Surfaces
When all three types of surfaces described above need to be measured then the Novo-Gloss Trigloss , a unit that simultaneously measures all three geometries, is the ideal solution. With all three geometries; 20°, 60°, 85°, in one unit, it is as handy as a single angle unit.
Having three geometries in one unit allows you to be in compliance with international standards and to quickly recognize quality variations. View one angle only or all three. All the selected geometries are measuring at the exact same location. The results are displayed instantly, including statistics.
Gloss, Haze, Distinctness of Image & RSPEC
A high quality finish is essential in a number of industries. Orange peel and haze have a huge impact on finish quality. Standard glossmeters cannot measure these effects that reduce visual quality. The Rhopoint IQ measures 20/60/85° GLOSS , HAZE, REFLECTED IMAGE QUALITY (RIQ) , DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE (DOI) and RSPEC with a single button push:
