IMPORTANT NOTES
Short for Micro Glossmeter
A set of measuring angles (Single: X, Double: XX, treble: XXX)
Product Series Code (First grade, Second generation)

yours, please pay attention to them.
MG268-F2 MG26-F2 MG68-F2 MG6-F2
The definition of haze is quoted from ASTM D4039.
Gloss quantity is denoted by Gs(X), X=20 ,60 or 85 . GU is short for Gloss Unit.
e.g. Gs(60 )=78GU, it says a measurement at incidence angle of 60 is 78 Gloss Unit.
When we mention a reflective index, a specified measuring angle should be related to.

One key press to get three measurements of treble measuring angles. The result will be
automatically stored into memory.
Optional angle sets. You can let all three angles valid or only choose one or two angles.
Self-diagnosis and self-calibration.This function help to find some faults, and so you can
deal with them in time.
