Stationary Gloss Meter

The above graph shows the
results of measuring ceramic
tiles, widely used as the stan­dard surface for the medium­gloss range (secondary stan­dard surface) because of the
stability of surface conditions.
The IG Series produces ex­tremely precise values.

●What is Glossiness?

Gloss is a quantity that expres­ses the degree of reflection when
light hits a surface. It is dete­mined by comparing the strength
of reflected light from the area be­ing measured with that from the
standard surface.

(degree of gloss)

High-precision measurements with
an integral light source and
detector lets the user gather
and view averaged data.

Handy Digital Gloss Checkers Allow Objective,

Quantified Gloss Measurements

Designed for greater ease of operation, maintain clean surfaces and

improve quality control inspection in various industrial applications.

Guaranteeing uniform production quality and standards for gloss
mesurement. HORIBA’s IG Series Gloss Checkers display gloss
measurements as numerical data, eliminating ambiguity and ensuring
objective evaluation of a product’s quality. Compact in design and ready
when powered on, all the user needs to do is hold the portable gloss
checker against the surface being evaluated for quality control of paints,
polishes, floor maintenance and many other industrial applications.

High-Efficiency Measurements

Enables Easy Switching of

Measuring Angles (60° and 20°)

The flexible, remote connection of the probe to the display unit

ensures greater work efficiency and safety in all applications.

One-Touch Calibration

Just press the calibration key (CAL) to start
automatic, sequential zero-span calibration.

Selectable Measuring
Angle (60° or 20°)

Choose 60° for standard gloss
measurements. For high-gloss surfaces
with gloss values over 70, simply switch to
the 20° measuring angle. The selectable
angle feature makes it easy to measure
glossy surfaces.
