The TQC Glossmeter allows the user to quickly and accurately measure gloss levels on any flat surface. Whether you are measuring on paper, paint, plastic, wood or any other material, no special training or skills are required. Simply place the gauge, press the scan button, and read the values. Template options can also provide non-flat surfaces and small test areas.
The PolyGloss® Glossmeter is the triple angle instrument featuring 2o°, 60°, and 85° measuring angles thus covering the entire gloss-spectrum. The 85° is for low gloss levels (high diffuse reflection) or matte surfaces. Depending on the model, the instrument can be set to measure and display just one or several measurement angle simultaneously.
The chassis is composed of aircraft-grade aluminum and injection-moulded, hi-tech plastic for superior stability. LED light-source ensures long bulb life as well as consistent, reliable gloss values. The super-clear OLED display is angled at 35-degrees, providing excellent readability in virtually every application. The TQC Gloss Meter body shape is comfortable for right- and left-handed users, with a “soft touch” coated upper area for improved grip. Every TQC Glossmeter is supplied with a protective holder fitted with an integrated calibration standard to permit field calibration.
TQC’s Ideal Finish Analysis® software is supplied with every glossmeter. Gloss values are downloaded to computer via the instrument USB port. Software permits the analysis of measurements taken, as well as the production of reports, charts, and graphs from the results. Ideal Finish Analysis works with a range of TQC instruments including the Curve-X3 Oven Logger.
