Frequently Asked Questions (Gloss Meter Sourcing Guide)

Q1: How do I choose between 20°, 60°, and 85° measuring angles?

The 60° angle is the universal angle for general semi-gloss surfaces (10 to 70 GU). If the 60° reading exceeds 70 GU (high gloss), switch to 20° for higher precision. If the 60° reading is below 10 GU (low gloss/matte), switch to 85° for maximum sensitivity. Tri-angle gloss meters automatically handle all three ranges.

Q2: How often should a laboratory gloss meter be calibrated?

Our gloss meters feature automatic self-calibration upon startup using the included high-precision standard black calibration tile. It is recommended to perform calibration before each daily measurement cycle to ensure optical stability.

Q3: Do you support OEM custom branding and wholesale distributor pricing?

Yes, as a factory-direct manufacturer, we offer complete OEM/ODM custom branding, customized UI panels, private label packaging, and tiered volume discounts for global laboratory equipment distributors.
