Gloss Meter Application, WorkingTheoryand TypeChoose
Gloss meter is a kind of meter to measure glossiness. It can be widely used for measuring gloss of paint, coating, ceramic tiles, automobile,plastic sheet, leather, print ink, etc. Today we will introduce the gloss meter workingtheory, type choosing and other information.
Gloss Meter Working Theory
The light source emits a beam of light passing through the condenser lens to reach the surface to be measured P, the surface P reflects the light to the collimating lens, the collimating lens converges the beam to a receiver located atpointB, and after the receiver performs photoelectric conversion,the electrical signal is sent to the processing circuit for processing, andthenthe instrument displays the measurement resulton screen.
Gloss meter needsastandard board as a reference to compare the measurement, if the standard board/tileis not accurate, the other measurement data isalso wrong. Standard board/tileiseasy tobeimpactedbyscratches and dust,therefore, the design of the instrument board/tileneeds to be better protected.

Gloss Meter Questions and Answers
Q1. What’s the power supply of the gloss meter?
Answer:Instrument adopts 4.4V high density batter 3000mah, its continuous measurement time reaches 50,000 times.
Q2. Can gloss meter be automatically calibrated?
Answer: Put the instrument on the calibration tile base, after switch on the instrument, we can calibrate it.
Q3. Is the gloss meter accurate?
Answer: Every instrument is with national verification certification to assure its test accuracy.
Q4.Can thecalibrationboard/tile is cleaned by paper or cloth?
Answer: No, calibration board/tile is the basis of theinstrumentaccuracy. It should be cleaned by special lens cloth. Every gloss meter produced by CHNSpec is with one piece of lens cloth.
Q5. ShouldIcalibrate gloss meter every time whenIstart it?
Answer: No, but to assure its accuracy, calibration is suggested.
Q6. How to keep the gloss meter ifIdo not use it?
Answer:Put it back into the base to protect both instrument and calibration board/tile.
