CHN SPEC CS-380 SE Gloss Meter (20°/60°/85°; 10*10/9*15/5*38; 0-200GU/ 0-200GU/ 0-100GU)

CHN SPEC CS-380 SE Gloss Meter (20°/60°/85°; 10*10/9*15/5*38; 0-200GU/ 0-200GU/ 0-100GU)

The CHN SPEC CS-380 SE (Standard Edition) Gloss Meter is a versatile surface quality testing device. The simultaneous integration of three standard measurement angles (20°, 60°, and 85°) makes this device a perfect solution for evaluating the specular reflection of various materials, strictly meeting international quality control (QC) standards.

Outstanding Features

Simultaneous three-angle measurement (20°, 60°, 85°): This is the outstanding advantage of the CS-380 SE. The device can measure and display results for all three angles simultaneously, serving comprehensive analysis:

• 20° Angle: Specialized for high-gloss surfaces such as automotive paints, polished metals, and plated surfaces.
• 60° Angle: The most universal measurement angle, used for semi-gloss materials such as plastics, industrial paints, and wood.
• 85° Angle: Especially effective and sensitive when measuring low-gloss/matte surfaces such as paper, leather, and matte paints.

Corresponding measurement apertures (10x10mm, 9x15mm, 5x38mm): To ensure absolute accuracy, the lens system is designed with specialized measurement areas for each angle. This helps optimize the amount of light received and reflected back to the sensor.

Optimal measurement range for standard materials: The device has a measurement range of 0-200 GU for the 20° and 60° angles, and 0-100 GU for the 85° angle. This parameter provides high resolution, ideal for detecting the most subtle differences on common material surfaces.

Compliance with international standards: The device fully meets the world’s leading measurement standards such as ISO 2813, ASTM D523, GB/T 9754, and DIN 67530, ensuring the measurement results have global circulation and comparative value.

Smart operation & Data management: The device automatically calibrates when placed on the included calibration base. The color screen clearly displays results, while the internal memory allows the storage of thousands of data points, easily transferable to a computer (PC) via a USB port to create reports.
