Surface Roughness Meter

The surface gloss meter measures the light reflection characteristics of an object's surface using an optical probe and converts the reflected light intensity into numerical values. It is used to detect the glossiness of materials such as paper and plastic, ensuring consistency in product appearance during quality inspection.
Selection
Select the measurement range based on the gloss range of the material being tested, consider the flatness to match the probe size, and check the measurement angle required by industry standards. Verify the instrument calibration certificate and ensure the operating environment is free from vibration interference.
