Exploring Single Angle Technology in Gloss Meters: A Detailed Study of the LISUN AGM-500PRO
Abstract
Gloss meters are essential instruments for quantifying the glossiness of surfaces across various industries, including automotive, paint, plastic, and ceramics. Single angle technology, particularly at a 60° measurement angle, is widely adopted for its effectiveness in assessing semi-gloss surfaces. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of single angle technology in gloss meters, with a focus on the LISUN AGM-500PRO model. We discuss the principles of gloss measurement, the significance of the 60° angle, and the specific features and applications of the AGM-500PRO.
1. Introduction
Gloss is a critical parameter that defines the visual appearance and quality of a product’s surface. Accurate measurement of gloss is vital for quality control and ensuring product consistency. Gloss meters, devices designed to measure the specular reflection of light from a surface, are commonly used for this purpose. Single angle technology refers to gloss meters that measure gloss at a specific angle, with 60° being the standard for general-purpose applications.
2. Principles of Gloss Measurement
Gloss measurement is based on the amount of light reflected from a surface at a specific angle. The measurement angle is chosen based on the expected gloss level of the surface:
• 20°: Used for high-gloss surfaces.
• 60°: Standard angle for semi-gloss surfaces.
• 85°: Used for low-gloss surfaces.
The 60° angle is particularly significant as it serves as the universal measurement angle for a wide range of applications, providing a balance between sensitivity and applicability.
3. Single Angle Technology
Single angle gloss meters are designed to measure gloss at one fixed angle, such as 60°. This technology simplifies the measurement process and is cost-effective for routine quality control where the gloss level falls within a specific range. The simplicity of single angle technology ensures ease of use and consistent results.
4. Overview of the LISUN AGM-500PRO Gloss Meter
The LISUN AGM-500PRO is a compact and lightweight gloss meter utilizing single angle technology at 60°. Weighing only 80 grams and comparable in size to a name card, it is highly portable and convenient for on-site measurements.
Key Features:
• Automatic Calibration: The device features auto-calibration, eliminating the need for manual calibration and allowing immediate measurement upon powering on.
• Measurement Speed: Capable of completing a single measurement in less than 1 second, enhancing efficiency in quality control processes.
• Battery Life: Supports up to 10,000 continuous measurements after a full recharge, ensuring long-term usability without frequent charging.
• Calibration Base: Equipped with an anti-pollution calibration base, enabling calibration at any time to maintain long-term accuracy.

What are the differences of FMVSS 302, UL94 and IEC60695 for flammability test?

Image
The flammability of different materials, such as plastics and other materials used in items such as automobile interiors, electronic devices, and electrical appliances, is evaluated using a number of different standards. Some of these standards are FMVSS 302, UL 94, and IEC 60695. Nevertheless, there are a number of important distinctions between these standards: FMVSS 302 is a specialized standard that was designed for the automotive industry to analyze the flammability of materials used in car interiors. Its purpose is to measure the combustibility of these materials. The UL 94 standard is a more comprehensive regulation that assesses the combustibility of a variety of materials, including plastics, and has applications in a number of different sectors. IEC 60695 is a global standard that is used in the process of assessing the potential for electronic and electrical equipment to catch fire. Testing Procedures The flammability of materials is determined using a variety of testing ...

Accessible parts of equipment with standard IEC 62368 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of dctermining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that can be opened without the use of a tool. Accessible parts do not include those that become accessible when floor standing equipment having a mass exceeding 40 kg is tilted. For equipment intended for building-in or rack-mounting, or for subassemblies and the like for incorporation in larger equipment,accessible parts do not include those that are not accessible when the equipment or subassembly is installed according to the method of mounting or installation specified in the installation instructions. A part is considered accessible if the instructions or markings intended to be followed require that a person phys...

Corrosion testing is widely employed in quality assurance laboratories within the metal industry as a critical step in quality control testing. These tests are typically conducted in salt spray test chambers, covering a range of tests for black metals and alloys. Additionally, corrosion testing is also carried out in the paint and coating industry to ensure the quality of coatings, thereby extending the lifespan of black metals. While corrosion may be considered a neglected topic, its impact on black metals cannot be overlooked. In environments rich in salt, these materials undergo occasional reactions with iron, triggering oxidation reactions that convert ferrous ions into ferric oxide. Over time, these oxidation reactions not only lead to complete product destruction but also provide a breeding ground for microbial reactions, accelerating product damage and failure. To avoid such situations, the paint and coating industry is actively improving the durability of their products and coa...
