Elcometer
406L Statistical Mini Glossmeter
 The Elcometer
406L Statistical Mini Glossmeter is a handheld gauge for measuring
the gloss of flat surfaces. This gauge is available in two versions;
single angle measurement 60º or dual angle 20/60º.
Gloss is measured
by directing a constant power light beam at an angle to the test
surface and monitoring the reflected light. Gloss measurement is
necessary to monitor the uniformity, compatibility, or possibly
the deterioration of any protective gloss finish.
The Elcometer 406L Statistical Mini Glossmeter is supplied with Novo-Soft™ software.

Gloss is an important
aspect of coating fininsh. In order to allow comparison of measurement
values an international standard was established. To identify a difference
over the complete range from matt to high gloss, 3 geometries are
used; 20°, 60° and 85° measured perpendicular to the surface being
inspected.
| Gloss Range |
60° Value |
Angle Of Geometry to use |
| Low Gloss |
less than 10 |
85° Geometry |
| Semi Gloss |
10 - 70 |
60° Geometry |
| High Gloss |
greater than 70 |
20° Geometry |
In addition there are industry specific applications for 45° and 75° geometries which are indicated below
