KS268 Portable Three-Angle Gloss Meter

Introduction:

3NH KS268 Portable Three-Angle Glossmeter integrates three measurement angles of 20°, 60°, and 85°, suitable for high-gloss, matte, and other gloss levels of materials, saving users the cost of purchasing multiple devices. Equipped with a high-precision optical system, it features a resolution of 0.1 GU and ultra-high repeatability of ±0.2 GU in the 0–100 GU range and ±0.2% GU in the 100–2000 GU range, accurately capturing gloss differences. Compliant with the JJG 696-2015 metrological standard, the results are authoritative and traceable. Widely used in industries such as paints and inks, plastics and electronics, ceramics, and hardware, the instrument delivers fast and stable measurements, helping enterprises adjust processes, reduce defects, and efficiently control quality for standardized production.

1. Professional Three-Angle Design – One Instrument Covers All Industry Needs

The KS268 Glossmeter is equipped with 20°, 60°, and 85° measurement angles to suit different gloss surfaces:

20°: For high-gloss surfaces (e.g., high-gloss automotive paint, piano lacquer, electroplated parts, mirror-finish ceramics)

60°: Universal angle, suitable for most materials (coatings, plastics, paper, etc.)

85°: For low-gloss or matte surfaces (e.g., frosted plastics, matte paint, marble)

Saves users the need to purchase multiple devices one instrument meets the full-range inspection requirements from high-gloss to matte, reducing procurement costs and management complexity.

One Instrument Covers All Industry Needs

2. 0.5-Second Fast Measurement + Ultra-High Repeatability – Improves Quality Inspection Efficiency

Each angle responds in just 0.5 seconds, greatly improving efficiency for production line sampling or laboratory testing.

Repeatability reaches ±0.2 GU (0–100 GU) or ±0.2% (100–2000 GU), ensuring highly consistent data.

Saves users time by reducing waiting time and accelerating shipment schedules, while avoiding rework or misjudgment caused by data fluctuations to ensure stable quality.

3. 35,000 Records of Massive Storage + Four Measurement Modes – Adapts to Diverse Scenarios

Offers storage for 35,000 records with four measurement modes: Basic Mode, Statistical Mode, Continuous Mode, and Quality Control Mode, flexibly meeting different needs such as incoming inspection, process control, and outgoing reporting.

Saves users from frequent data export, enabling batch analysis on-site; quality control personnel can directly generate inspection reports, eliminating manual recording and post-processing time.

4. Automatic Calibration + Compliant with National Standard JJG 696-2015 – Authoritative and Traceable Data

Built-in automatic calibration verification function checks the instrument upon startup, ensuring accurate status before each measurement.

Complies with the JJG 696-2015 standard for working glossmeters, providing authoritative and reliable data.

Reduces the risk of customer complaints and returns due to batch quality issues; the instrument automatically calibrates upon startup without manual operation, avoiding human error and significantly improving inspection efficiency.

5. Ultra-Long Battery Life + USB Power Supply – Worry-Free Use Anytime, Anywhere

Automatic shutdown (adjustable from 30 to 120 seconds) for intelligent power saving.

Saves users the trouble of frequent battery replacement, making long-duration outdoor or workshop operations stress-free. The universal USB interface eliminates the need for a dedicated charger, reducing accessory costs.

6. GQC6 Quality Management Software – Completes the Data Loop

Comes with GQC6 PC software, supporting data import, trend analysis, report printing, and color management.

Optional Bluetooth 5.0 adapter or micro printer enables wireless data transmission or on-the-spot report printing.

Saves users time by generating compliant reports with one click to meet customer audit requirements, reduces manual entry errors, and enhances the digitalization level of quality management.
