DeFelsko Corporation
DeFelsko Corporation, a leading
U.S. manufacturer of inspection
instruments, has added a new Gloss
Meter to its coating measurement
line. The PosiTector GLS Gloss
Meter brings Gloss, Reflectance, and
Haze measurement to the versatile
PosiTector platform.
The new meter is just one of several
interchangeable probes that fit the
PosiTector gage body, making it one
of the most flexible instruments in a
coating professional's toolbox.
Users may select up to three
measurement angles to suit any
application. Readings are then saved
into memory and can be transferred
to PosiSoft Software to quickly archive
data and generate professional
reports.
Three gloss probe models are
available: The PosiTector GLS 60,
which is suitable for most gloss
applications and is the preferred
angle for semi-gloss; the PosiTector
GLS 20/60, recommended for highto
semi-gloss applications; and the
PosiTector GLS 20/60/85 is suitable
for all gloss applications. Additionally,
both the PosiTector GLS 20/60 and
20/60/85 calculates Haze (Haze Index).
The gloss probes feature Automatic
Diagnosis and Calibration upon
power-on using the protective base
plate with integrated calibration
standard (tile). Users can store and
manage up to 99 different calibration
standards (tiles) for quick calibration
adjustments. Measurement speeds
reach 60+ readings per minute,
and Advanced models include two
powerful Scan Modes for quantifying
large surfaces. The PosiTector GLS
is then able to calculate averages,
standard deviation, min/max
gloss, and the number of readings
while scanning. Differential Mode
automatically calculates the difference
between the current reading and a
stored reference value (Advanced
models only).
The probes are compatible with
PosiSoft Software Solutions for
managing measurement data and
creating professional custom reports.
DeFelsko's PosiTector gage body
accepts all PosiTector probes, easily
converting from a gloss meter to a
coating thickness gage, dew point meter,
surface profile gage, soluble salt tester,
hardness tester, or ultrasonic wall thickness
gage.
