Gloss meter is an instrument that measures the gloss of the surface of an object, which is widely used in quality control and R&D in coatings, paints, inks, plastics, ceramics, glass and other industries. The use of the gloss meter is not complicated, and the steps and precautions for its use will be described in detail below.
First, the use of the steps.
1.Boot up and warm up.
Before using the gloss meter, it needs to be turned on and warmed up for 3-5 minutes to stabilize the instrument. The warm-up time can also be extended according to actual needs to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
2.Calibrate the instrument.
In order to obtain accurate measurement results, the instrument needs to be calibrated first. Place the gloss meter on the blackboard, adjust the angle of the instrument so that it is perpendicular to the blackboard, and adjust the height so that the measuring port is parallel to the plane of the blackboard. Then press the calibration button and the instrument will be calibrated automatically.
3.Place the sample.
Place the sample to be measured on the measuring port of the gloss meter, taking care not to have air bubbles or impurities. If the sample is small, it can be fixed to the measuring port using a fixture.
4.Measure gloss.
When the measurement button is pressed, the instrument automatically measures the surface gloss of the sample and displays the measurement result. If multiple measurements are required, the measurement button can be pressed continuously.
5.Data Processing and Logging.
The measurement results are recorded for subsequent analysis and processing. You can use the recording function that comes with the gloss meter, or you can export the data to a PC for processing.
2. Precautions.
1.Clean the measuring port.
Before using the gloss meter, the measuring port needs to be cleaned to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. It can be cleaned with alcohol or a dust-free cloth.
2.Avoid bright lights and shadows.
When measuring, avoid the influence of bright light and shadows on the sample, so as not to affect the measurement results.
3.Calibrate regularly.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement, the gloss meter needs to be calibrated regularly. Calibration can be performed using a standard board or compared to other standard instruments.
4.Maintenance.
A gloss meter is a precision instrument that requires regular maintenance. It can be maintained according to the maintenance method on the manual to ensure the service life and accuracy of the instrument.
