Micro Triangular Gloss Meter
At the correct angle-Observe changes in the product
High, medium, and low gloss: Which type of application do you belong to?The triangle gloss meter integrates three angles of 20 °, 60 °, and 85 ° - just like a single angle meterPortable like a tool. Three angles on one instrument enable you to quickly meet international standardsNoticing changes in quality.

All selected angles are measured at the same point and the measurement results are immediately displayed, including statistics, differences, and qualified/unqualified results. The following example shows a better display of the difference in gloss between two samples at a 20 ° angle:

Micro gloss meter
New intelligent gloss measurement
For many years, BYK miniature gloss meters have become the industry standard for gloss measurement that can be surpassed. It is a high-precision, easy-to-use, and multifunctional gloss meter designed to meet the standards of today's quality management. In addition, smart chart, as an intelligent data communication software, is an ideal tool for professional data management and effective data analysis.
Bright color screen displayEasy to read - simple to use
Ergonomic compliance and simple operation are the key points of design. The volume of the micro gloss meter is neither small nor small Perfect for holding in your hand. The simple navigation menu with scroll wheel operation, multilingual display, and color screen has made gloss measurement easier than ever beforeSingle.
Automatic calibrationStandard board OK - Calibration OK
Accurate readings require reliable calibration. The gloss meter and calibration base are a perfect combination - the standard plate of the gloss meter is always well protected when placed inside the calibration base. The special feature is that the intelligent automatic diagnostic function ensures long-term stable calibration, tells you when calibration is needed, and even checks whether the standard board is clean. Easy to operate, safe and reliable.
Measure the gloss of coatings or metals-From matte to mirrorSurface gloss
With a micro gloss meter, you can measure the gloss of any material, including coatings, plastics, or high gloss metals. The measurement range has been extended from matte products to products with a reflection of up to 2000 gloss units, such as mirror surfaces, with automatic calibration and no need for additional calibration. Always maintain reliable results - in line with international standards.
Micro Triangular Gloss Meter μ
Combining gloss and thickness measurement
A good coating is to use as little paint as possible to achieve the quality required by customers
Specifications. Gloss and thickness are important parameters for evaluating coating quality.
The micro triangle gloss meter U can simultaneously measure this at the same measurement point within a few seconds
Two parameters not only save time but also make it ideal for on-site use
Use one instrument.
Simultaneously display 20, 60 °, 85 ° - for high, medium, and low gloss coatings
Magnetic/non-magnetic dual-purpose probe - measuring coating thickness on steel or aluminum substrates
Small aperture gloss meter for small components
Today, many products are not only composed of different components, but also require these components to have similar surface appearances. Beautiful design has become an important factor in the success of products, such as mobile phones, computers, or household appliances. It is necessary to integrate small components into large components and merge them into one, such as frames, buttons, and decorative parts. The size and design of these products make them difficult to evaluate using traditional gloss meters. The micro gloss meter XS is a small aperture 60 ° gloss meter with a measuring aperture of 2 x4mm. It is an ideal solution for measuring the gloss of small components, ensuring consistency with large components. The additional version is the enhanced micro 60 ° gloss meter XS-S, whose technical performance is suitable for measuring products with very low gloss surfaces.
