Dual range checker for Gloss and Ultra High Gloss measurement

IG-410 High Gloss Meter

A measurement standard for the gloss value
Gloss value 100 is defined as specular reflectance in incident angle of the gloss of reflectance index 1.567. With incident angle = 60°, specular reflectance is 10%, or gloss value 100. Consequently gloss in specular reflectance 100% is calculated as 1000. Reflectance in many polished metals is 50% or more, some are 90% or more. Then measurement range is expanded up to 1000 in IG-410.

Latest model Gloss Checker now checks Ultra high gloss surface finishes
The new IG-410 now measures ultra high gloss surfaces such as polished metal. The meter has
ten times greater measurement range than the conventional model. Now even mirror finishes can
be measured too.
Compact, lightweight and detachable probe design
Weighing in at only 1.3 lbs (350g), this battery operated instrument is designed to be portable.
Fast and reliable measurement by simple one-touch operation. LED light sources give <100,000
hours service and therefore no need to replace.
Dual range extends measurement resolution in the low gloss range
The IG-410 has two user-selectable measurement ranges, depending on the sample to be measured.
Low gloss samples can be measured using the 0-100 range and high gloss samples can be mea-
sured using the 0-1000 range. Two calibration plates are provided to allow the user to follow a
simple one-touch calibration procedure to ensure reproducible results.

Application
  For external confirmation of plating product   For finish confirmation of rolling metals.   For research and developement of wafer polishing devices
