Digital Gloss Meter Calibration Precautions

1. The digital gloss meter has an automatic calibration function at power-on. In order to use the gloss tester more conveniently and flexibly, user can choose whether to auto-calibrate when starting up.
2. If the last shutdown was a manual shutdown, gloss meter will automatically calibrate the next startup. If the last shutdown was an automatic shutdown after 5 minutes of screen rest, gloss meter will not automatically calibrate the next startup.
3. When the use environment of the digital gloss meter changes (such as drastic changes in temperature, altitude, humidity, etc.), it must be calibrated.
4. To ensure the accuracy of calibration, please use the standard plate provided by the original manufacturer. Dust on the standard plate will affect the calibration effect. Before calibration, please wipe the working surface of standard plate with a wiping cloth to confirm that the working surface is clean.
5. The standard plate is a precision optical element, avoid exposure to light, and keep it properly. Due to environmental factors, photometric data of the standard plate will change over time. Therefore, ATO recommends that you send the standard plate to a qualified metrology institute for verification and testing regularly (recommended once a year).

Digital Gloss Meter Applications

Tips: Gloss meter applications in QC testing.

With the development of industry and the emerging paints industry, many manufacturers have begun to use gloss meters to detect the gloss of their products, to reach the satisfaction of customers. In addition, the vigorous development of automotive and home appliance industries makes gloss detection more and more important in QC systems.

In automotive industry, the design and production of car interior parts is becoming more and more important. The use of a variety of different materials, from leather to plastic, must ensure that the color and gloss of these materials is consistent. This is inseparable from the gloss testing in QC detection. To ensure the consistency of appearance between multiple materials, extremely strict tolerance ranges must be specified.
Typical tolerance: 60 degree gloss <5 gloss units (GU)
Deviation range: ±0.3~0.5 gloss unit

In the QC inspection of automobile manufacturing, the supplier's quality assurance personnel need to check the difference between the produced product and the part, not the absolute value of gloss. In order to control the performance and linearity of gloss meter, it is recommended to periodically use the calibration standard plate. Length of the control interval depends on the usage conditions of the gloss meter. Place the gloss plate in a plastic groove, and the gloss meter can be accurately positioned to ensure accurate and reproducible measurements.
