LS197 gloss meter five major characteristic

LS197 is a multi-angle designed gloss meter. Thanks to its ivory white engineering housing, its appearance is simple and generous. The device is widely used for the surface gloss measurement of paints, coatings, inks, plastics, ceramics, paper, stones, metals and other materials.

It has 3 measuring angles of 20°, 60° and 85°, so that the gloss at different angles can be measured at the same time. With its 2000GU measuring range, the device can measure materials with high gloss and even specular reflectivity. The device supports normal mode and QC mode. In normal mode, all you need to do is put the gloss meter on the sample whose gloss will be displayed on the screen of the device instantly. No need to wait. In QC mode, it can automatically determine whether the gloss of the material is qualified, thus the measurement efficiency is improved.

Feature

Multi-angle design, simultaneous measurement of gloss at different angles

LS197 gloss meter breaks the conventional single-angle measurement mode and adopts a unique design of 20°, 60°, and 85° three-angle measurement. The gloss of different angles can be measured at the same time, which truly makes the measurement easier

2000GU large measuring range

LS197 gloss meter has a measuring range of up to 2000GU, which can measure high gloss and even specular reflective materials, so as to meet the different measurement needs of customers

Free choice of measuring angle

Free combinations of single-angle, double-angles or multi-angles measurement. Free choice of angles

0.2GU good repeatability makes measuring data stable

Using the imported chips and sensors with the unique 50-point linear fitting algorithm, repeatability of LS197 gloss meter reaches ±0.2GU, and its resolution reaches 0.1GU. All these have contributed to unimaginable user experiences

Adopting the D65 light source to make sure the accurate measurements

The instrument uses the D65 light source and the spectral response curve of receivers conforms to the fuction of photopic vision V(λ), ensuring more accurate measurements of colored objects

Our device conforms to Grade 1 gloss meter standards, not all gloss meters can do it

The accuracy of the device in the full range meets the Chinese Grade 1 working machine standards, which ensures that it passes the inspection of the authoritative Chinese metrology organization. Not all gloss meters can do it.

Just put and test, refuse to wait for 0.5s

After the device is turned on, there is no need of button operations and the measuring speed is so fast that users don't have to wait for even 0.5s to see the gloss of the tested materials

QC mode for auto qualification

In addition to normal mode, the device also supports QC mode. In this mode, the user can set the upper and lower limits for qualification judgment. This mode is suitable for batch testing
