The BYK micro-TRI-gloss is a gloss measuring device with three geometric configurations of light source and detector. From one of the standardized angles counted to the perpendicular, light falls on the sample. The glossy to matte surface reflects the incident light more or less specular. For each of the three measuring geometries, the directionally reflected light is detected in gloss direction. The quotient of reflected and incident light is a measure for the gloss of the considered surface.

Technical Specifications:

Geometric configurations:

  • 20°/20° for high-gloss surfaces
