How many different angles shall 3nh have for gloss meter?
There are many models gloss meter made from 3nh in China and we have touch screen and economic gloss meters.
For gloss meter, they have some measuring angles for customers to choose.
Different requmrent needs different model.
High Gloss - 20 or micro-gloss 20
A smooth and highly polished surfaces 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.
Semi Gloss - 60 or micro-gloss 60
On rough surfaces the light is diffusely scattered in all directions. The image forming qualities are diminished: A reflected object does no longer appear brilliant, but blurred.
The more uniform the light is scattered, the less intense is the reflection in the main direction and the duller the surface will appear. We have several models with 60 degree, such as 3nh NHG60, NHG60M, HG60, HG60S gloss meter etc.
High and Semi Gloss - 60/20
One Gloss meter does double work.
Low Gloss or Mat - 85 or micro-gloss 85
On very rough 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.
Measure all three modes - TRI-gloss (20/60/85)
When one requires measuring all three types of surfaces described above, we have two gloss meters that simultaneously measures all three geometries. They are 3nh NHG268 gloss meter and HG268 gloss meter with 20/60/85.
For example, if the measurement made at 60° is greater than 70 GU, the measurement angle should be changed to 20° to optimise measurement accuracy. Three types of instruments are available on the market: 60° single angle instruments, a combination of 20° and 60° and one type that combines 20°, 60° and 85°.
