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.

0.2GU good repeatability makes the measuring data stable

Use the imported chips and sensors with the unique 50-point linear fitting algorithm. Repeatability reaches ±0.2GU, and resolution reaches 0.1GU. The data remain consistent in the repeated measurement at the same position.

Just put and test, refuse to wait for 0.5s

After the device is turned on, there is no need of button operations. You just put and test and don't have to wait for even 0.5s.

QC mode for auto qualification

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

Support PC software to generate test reports

The device is supported by powerful PC software, which realizes online measurement and generates reports. The measurement results are clear and present.

Smooth appearance and comfortable grip

Thanks to the ivory white engineering plastic housing, the device features smooth appearance, ergonomic design, comfortable grip, and effortless long-term measurement.

Long battery life, energy saving and environmental protection

The device has an auto shutdown function. It has a built-in lithium battery characteristic of a long-lasting battery life and continuous measurement of 115,200 times when fully charged.
