Gloss Meters

Horiba Gloss Checker

For more than 20 years HORIBA has lead the field of gloss meter instrumentation. Today in excess of 50,000 HORIBA Gloss Checkers are being used around the world. On the strength of this experience HORIBA gloss checkers are the recognized standard instrument, especially in the floor maintenance and stone processing industries.

IG-410

Dual range checker for Gloss and Ultra High Gloss measurement

The IG-410 measures ultra high gloss surfaces such as polished metal. The meter has ten times greater measurement range than the conventional model. Even mirror finishes can be measured too.

Weighing in at only 350g (1.3 lbs), this battery operated instrument is designed to be portable. Fast and reliable measurement by simple one-touch operation. LED light sources give <100,000 hours service so there is no need to exchange these parts due to lifetime.

The IG-410 has two user-selectable measurement ranges, depending on the sample to be measured. Low gloss samples can be measured using the 0-100 range and high gloss samples can be measured using the 0-1000 range. Two calibration plates are provided to allow the user to follow a simple one-touch calibration procedure to ensure reproducible results.

IG-320

Gloss is a surface’s attribute of directly reflecting light and the degree of this reflected light is termed glossiness. The IG-320 measurement angle is set at the 60° standard angle allowing discerning even the lowest levels of gloss and provides a definite numerical value for glossiness. The IG-320 provides accurately and instantaneously measurement from low gloss matte surfaces to the highly polished texture for such operations management areas as floor maintenance, polishing, and coating. Up to 99 measurements can be taken with a simple key operation and averaged using another key. Up to 99 averages can be stored for later use. Easy data management promises smooth inspection work. Because the IG-320 does not require the use of special measuring technology, it can easily be used by anyone.
