HG268 Professional Three-Angle Gloss Meter – 20°/60°/85° Multi-Angle Gloss Measurement for High & Low Gloss Surfaces

Overview

The HG268 Three-Angle Gloss Meter delivers laboratory-grade accuracy in a handheld device, engineered to simplify gloss measurement for quality control across diverse industries. By combining 20°, 60°, and 85° angles in a single instrument, it eliminates the need for multiple gloss meters, providing flexibility for high-gloss, semi-gloss, and low-gloss surfaces. With a user-centric design featuring a full-touch interface and intuitive navigation, the HG268 meets international standards while ensuring operational ease.

Core Features

Multi-Angle Versatility

The 20° angle measures high-gloss surfaces (0–2000 GU), such as polished metals or glossy coatings; the 60° angle covers general-purpose applications like paints and plastics (0–1000 GU); and the 85° angle is optimized for low-gloss materials like matte finishes (0–160 GU). This triple-angle capability allows comprehensive gloss analysis without device switching.

Ergonomic Design & Smart Operation

The HG268 features a concise, portable body (160×75×90mm, 350g) with a comfortable grip. Its 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen supports swift menu navigation, and the "one-touch" function enables simultaneous multi-angle measurement at the same location, ensuring consistency and reducing operator error. Automatic calibration simplifies setup, while the rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports over 10,000 measurements per charge.

Precision & Compliance

Aligned with JJG696 first-class gloss meter requirements, the HG268 offers high repeatability (±0.1 GU) and reproducibility (±0.2 GU). It adheres to ISO 2813, ASTM D523, and GB/T 9754, with chromaticity calibrated to CIE 1931 under CIE-C light. Each angle has a dedicated measurement area (e.g., 10×10 mm for 20°), ensuring accurate spot-specific readings.

Software & Connectivity

Via USB connection, users can link the HG268 to GQC6 quality control software for data management, trend analysis, and professional report generation. The device stores up to 1000 measurement sets internally, with options to export for further analysis. An optional miniature printer allows portable, computer-free report printing.
