Overview
CHNSPEC CS-380 Multi-angle Glossiness Meter is a precision instrument for the measurement of material surface Glossiness. Measurement Angles include 20 °, 60 ° and 85 °, and the measurement range can reach 2000GU. It is mainly used in lame plating, plastic, printing, metal, ceramics, building materials, leather, paints and other industries to accurately measure the Gloss degree of the material surface.
Features
1. Multi-angle measurement: equipped with three Measurement Angles of 20 °, 60 ° and 85 °.
2. High Accuracy and Repeatability: Repeatability is 0.2GU in the range of 0-100GU and 0.2% GU in the range of 100-2000GU, and the accuracy meets the requirements of JJG 696 first-level working glossmeter.
3. Mass storage: can store 100 master standard data and 10,000 sample data.
4. Multiple Interfaces: Equipped with USB interface, optional Bluetooth function for easy data transmission.
5. Easy to operate: Support average mode, master standard and sample Measurement mode, provide Simplified Chinese and English Operating interface.
6. Long life power supply: Built-in 3000mAh lithium battery, Measurement time only takes 1 second.
7. Portable design: Dimension is 165 * 51 * 77mm, weight about 400g, easy to carry and use.
Principle
The Glossiness Meter emits a beam of light at a specific angle to the surface of the object to be measured, and then receives and measures the intensity of its reflection rays of light. The intensity of the reflected light is proportional to the Glossiness of the surface of the object. The instrument converts the received light signal into the Glossiness value (GU) and displays it through the built-in photoelectric Sensor and computing system. CS-380 adopts three angles of 20 °, 60 ° and 85 ° to adapt to sample measurement in different Glossiness ranges, ensuring the accuracy and applicability of the results.
Applications
Lame plating, plastic, printing, metal, ceramics, building materials, leather, paints
Standards
DIN 67530、ISO 2813、ASTM D 523、JIS Z8741、BS 3900 Part D5、JJG696
Steps
1. Boot preparation: ensure that the instrument has sufficient power and is used in an environment with 0~ 40 ° C, relative humidity < 85% RH and no condensation.
2. Calibrate: calibrate according to the instrument prompts or operation instructions.
3. Measurement mode: Select average mode or master standard/specimen Measurement mode as needed.
4. Select Measurement Angles: Choose the appropriate Measurement Angles (20 °, 60 °, or 85 °) according to the Glossiness range of the sample being tested.
5. Place the sample: The instrument measurement port is smoothly and tightly attached to the surface of the tested sample.
6. Start measurement: Press the measurement button, the instrument will complete the measurement and display the result in about 1 second.
7. Data management: measurement data can be stored and exported via USB or Bluetooth (optional) interface.
Notice
• Please ensure that the measurement environment meets the requirements of Operating temperature (0~ 40 ℃) and Humidity (< 85% RH, no condensation).
• The instrument needs to be calibrated before measurement to ensure measurement accuracy.
• When measuring, be sure to make the instrument measurement port closely fit with the sample surface to avoid light leakage affecting the results.
• According to the Glossiness of the sample, correctly select 20 °, 60 ° or 85 ° Measurement Angles.
Do not use and store the instrument in a strong magnetic field, strong vibration or corrosion gas environment.
• Regularly clean the instrument measurement window to avoid dust or stains affecting the Measurement accuracy.
• For specific operation, please refer to the "CHNSPEC CS-300/CS-380 Glossiness Meter Operation Manual".
