Novo-Gloss Lite
20º/60º/75º (Single/Dual Angle)

INTRODUCTION

The Novo-Gloss Lite gloss meter is designed to meet the measurement criteria for most gloss measuring applications. Small, lightweight and durable the instrument can be used in the most demanding outdoor environments. The high specifications, including statistical analysis and PC down load facility mean it is also at home in the best equipped QA Laboratory.

The 20° Measurement geometry is ideal for measuring very high gloss finishes.

The Novo-Gloss Lite 45º measures gloss using a specialist geometry often specified in the ceramics, metal manufacturing and film making industries.

The 60° Measurement geometry is the universal standard measurement angle for measuring gloss, so the Novo-Gloss Lite 60° is perfect for measuring any flat surface from matt to very high gloss finish.

The Novo-Gloss Lite 20/60º is a fully featured instrument for measuring gloss. It can simultaneous read both angles and simultaneously perform calibration of both angles.
