A gloss measurement is an important quality feature because the gloss level of a surface is directly related to the visual perception, uniformity and functionality of a coating. Here are the main reasons why gloss measurement serves as a quality feature:
- uniformity and reproducibility
- In industrial production processes, the gloss level must be constant in order to avoid visual deviations between different batches.
- Accurate gloss measurement ensures that all products have the same surface quality.
- Visual and aesthetic effect
- The gloss level influences the perception of a product, especially in industries such as automotive, furniture or packaging.
- Too high or too low a gloss level can have a negative impact on appearance and brand perception.
- functional testing and defect detection
- Gloss measurements help to identify paint defects such as uneven coating, over or undercoating or matt areas.
- Deviations in gloss can indicate problems in the painting process or differences in materials.
- correlation test with other properties
- The gloss level can give an indication of the mechanical and chemical properties of a coating.
- In some applications, such as protective coatings, gloss can correlate with hardness or abrasion resistance.
- Standard-compliant quality assurance
- Many industries have established standards (e.g. ISO 2813, ASTM D523) that define the gloss level.
- Standardized gloss measurements ensure that products meet the requirements.

HORIBA IG-331 Gloss Checker Measuring range 0-100
Product number:
895995
Gloss is important visual property of object's surface. The degree of light reflected from the object's surface is termed glossiness. However, the perception of glossiness is subjective and depends on the weather conditions, physical abilities of watching person etc.
HORIBA IG-331 Gloss Checker Measuring range 0-100
Handy Digital Gloss Checkers Allow Objective, Quantified Gloss Measurements
Designed for greater ease of operation, maintain clean surfaces and improve quality control inspection in various industrial applications.
High efficiency and flexibility utilizing a separate detector and light source, offers the ability to switch between 60 degree measuring angle for standard gloss measurement, and 20 degree measuring angle for high-gloss surfaces with gloss values over 70.
The flexible connection between the probe and display unit ensures greater work efficiency.
Just one touch of the calibration key starts the automatic sequential zero-span calibration.
Features:
High efficiency measurement
Measuring angles 20° and 60°
Flexible use with its remote probe

HORIBA IG-340 Gloss tester 0-100 / Handy digital gloss tester
The IG-340 gloss checker helps to quantify gloss measurement and perform objective numerical gloss value.
The gloss checker IG-340's user friendly interface allows intuitive operations for instant gloss measurement on site. Due to ergonomic and light weight design the IG-340 can be hold and operated by one hand. High accuracy, repeatability and precision proven by more than 50,000 units sold worldwide makes it indispensible in object's appearance check and quality control.
IG-340 uses very common measurement angel 60°, which allows accurate measurement from low gloss surfaces to highly pollished textures.
This enables gloss measurement of different materials: stone, wood, leather, rubber, glass, metal, plastic, and various application fields from foor maintenance, car polishing to stone and building materials appearance inspection. Ingress Protection IP42* enables outdoor gloss measurement and use in the fields where water drops are present.
Internal memory can store 100 readings and 200 average data with time and date. Instant data output via USB connection and without any dedicated software allows QA and other professional reports to be easily generated. The IG-340 does not need any special measurement technique. It can be easiely used by everyone and become your right hand in reporting about performed works and quality inspection.
Features:
Compact, Lightweight and Easy Operation
30% smaller than the previous model the IG-320
Easy to hold and carry by one hand
Gloss values can be easily managed on site with one button one function operation
Environmental Rating
IP (Ingress Protection) rates at IP42*
Can be used for outdoor gloss measurement such as construction sites, solar panels, ships, trains and buses
Also can be used for stone polishing and other applications where water drops are present
Large Screen Display
Indicated values can be easily confirmed when IG-340 is placed on the floor during floor cleaning and maintenance works
Internal Memory for Measured and Average Values
Measured values can be saved with a single touch
Easy operation with one hand using the side button is also available
Average value can be calculated and saved as well
*Equivalent to IP42 when battery cover and USB cover are closed. IP42 means protection against solid objects of 1mm diameter and greater, and vertically falling water drops when enclosure is tilted up to 15 degrees. Wiping off water drops on the measurement spots are necessary in order to obtain accuarte value.
