The Horiba IG Series gloss meters feature a digital display and bring pinpoint accuracy to gloss evaluation. The IG-320 model takes high-precision measurements with an integral light source and detector, while letting the user gather and view averaged data. The IG-331 model offers high-efficiency and flexibility utilizing a separate detector and light source, with the ability to switch between 60° and 20° measurement angles.
The Horiba IG-320 gloss meter has an incident angle and reception angle of 60° with a 12mm x 6mm measuring oval. The LED light source (880 nm) and SPD (silicone photodiode) detector provide a measuring range of 0 to 100.0 and display range of 0 to 199.0 (resolution 0.1).
