BYK-Gardner Micro-Tri-Gloss � (4564) 20/60/85-degree Gloss Meter

Product Description
The micro-TRI-gloss µ still combines 20°, 60°, 85° in one gloss meter - as handy as the one angle unit. An efficient coatings process should use as little paint as possible and fulfill the quality specifications given by the customer. Gloss and film thickness are important QC criteria for coatings. The micro-TRI-gloss µ measures both, at the same position and in seconds. This saves time and is ideal for checks in the field - only one instrument to carry

Simultaneous display 20°, 60°, 85° - for high gloss to matte coatings
Dual sensor Fe/NFe - measures thickness on steel as well as on aluminum

Having three geometries in one unit allows you to be in compliance with international standards and to quickly recognize quality variations. With the micro-gloss gloss meter you can measure any material - paints, plastics or highly reflective or mirror-like metals. All angles measure at the same location, and the results appear simultaneously - including Statistics, Difference, or Pass/Fail (ideal for QC and checks in the field)

NEW: smart-chart software - instant QC reports with trend graph and Pass/Fail limits

~ Brilliant color display: easy to read - easy to use. The scroll wheel operation and new color display with an easy-to-navigate menu make gloss measurement easier than ever before.
~ Accurate readings require reliable calibration. The gloss meter and calibration holder make a perfect couple - the calibration standard is always protected in the holder of the micro-gloss. The intelligent auto diagnosis of the gloss meter is a unique feature which guarantees long-term calibration stability and tells you when to calibrate. It even checks whether the standard is clean. Operator-friendly and safe.
~ With the micro-gloss gloss meter you can measure any material - paints, plastics or brightened metals. Its expanded range measures from very matte to mirror like reflection of up to 2000 gloss units, automatically and without additional calibration.
Always reliable results - according to international standards.
Every measurement series can be saved in the gloss meter under its own name.

Different tasks require different tools. The easy to turn scroll wheel of the gloss meter quickly shows you all needed functions - even without a PC:
The BASIC MODE is your tool to quickly check the gloss of a few samples.
The STATISTIC MODE not only shows the average, but all statistical data needed to judge whether the measured difference is significant or how uniform the surface gloss is on your sample. You define what you want to see: mean, standard deviation, range, min/max...
The DIFFERENCE MODE allows you to define a reference with Pass/Fail limits and will compare all of the following measurements to the selected reference. The Pass/ Fail indication is colorfully shown on the high resolution display - ideal for production control.
The CONTINUOUS MODE is the most efficient way to quickly check the uniformity of a large sample surface. You define the measurement interval and are now ready to continuously measure the gloss by sliding the micro-gloss over the surface. When finished, the average with min - max range are displayed.
