You can easily make use of this tool to test the gloss of stone, wood, laminates, and floors. Here in this blog, we are going to provide you with brief information about the Presto gloss meter and how it serves to be the perfect testing instrument to ensure the smoothness of the paint finish.

Why you should use a gloss meter in the paint industry?

Painters are always looking for ways to improve the quality of their work. One way they can do so is by using gloss meters in order to find out how much gloss paint has before applying it. This will ensure that the surface is at its perfect level of sheen, which will also allow them to use less material in the process.

• It also consists of QC software with a powerful extending function.
• Flexible Choice of auto-calibrating data, easy to compare.
• Display multiple sets of data, easy to compare.
• High hardware configuration with multiple innovative technologies.
• Built-in rechargeable battery, economic and environmental protection.
• Auto power-off function to save electricity consumption.

These are some of the wonderful features of the Presto Gloss Meter Triangle. Along with that, you will get an auto-calibration function in this testing instruments.

When the operating environment changes (such as the rapid change of temperature, altitude, and humidity), then you must do the calibration. In order to ensure accuracy, please use the original standard plate for calibration. The dust on the standard plate will affect calibration accuracy. Please avoid it from strong sunlight. Due to environmental factors, the gloss value of the standard plate will change over time. Therefore, it’s better to send it back to the factory or qualified local National Institute of Metrology for the calibration (Once a year).
