Outstanding Features

• Universal 60° measurement angle: The device uses a 60-degree illumination and reception angle. This is a versatile and the most widely applied measurement angle in the industry, ideal for evaluating the gloss of the majority of common materials on the market.
• Expanded measurement range (0 – 1000 GU): Overcoming the limitations of basic models, the CS-300 can perfectly measure surfaces with strong light reflection (up to 1000 GU) such as high-intensity gloss paints, polished plastic surfaces, or basic metal platings without encountering data overflow.
• High accuracy and repeatability: Thanks to a high-quality optical sensor system, the device provides measurement results with a resolution of 0.1 GU and excellent repeatability. The device strictly complies with international measurement standards such as ISO 2813, ASTM D523, GB/T 9754, and DIN 67530.
• Smart automatic calibration: The device comes with a magnetic protective base with a built-in calibration tile. As soon as the user turns on the device, it will automatically recognize and complete the calibration process in just a few seconds, ensuring the device is always in its most accurate measurement state.
• PC connection & In-depth data management: Not only displaying intuitive results on the color screen, the CS-300 also supports computer connection via a USB port. The included software allows storing tens of thousands of data points, analyzing gloss trend charts, setting tolerances, and exporting professional QC reports.

Practical Applications

With the combination of a flexible 60° measurement angle and a wide measurement range, the CHN SPEC CS-300 is a powerful quality control (QC) tool for:

• Paints and coatings industry: Controlling the gloss of automotive paints, architectural paints, powder coatings, and protective varnishes from matte to high gloss.
• Plastics and rubber industry: Evaluating the surface gloss of electronic components, household appliance casings, automotive interior components, and injection-molded plastic films.
• Light metalworking: Inspecting the specular reflection of aluminum profiles, plated metals, or stainless steel surfaces after polishing.
• Building materials and furniture: Measuring the gloss of ceramic tiles, high-end paving stones, glass, and industrial wood surfaces coated with melamine.
