An economical gloss meter which utilises a separate detector and light source, offers the ability to switch between 60 degree measuring angle for standard gloss measurement, and 20 degree measuring angle for high-gloss surfaces with gloss values over 70. One touch of the calibration key starts the automatic sequential zero-span calibration. Gloss meters reflect light when exposed to a surface. The intensity of this reflected light is measured as gloss. The IG-331 provides a measured value to confirm visual gloss observations reducing human error.
HORIBA Gloss Meters employ a proprietary optical system using near infrared LED light source. Compact, light and simple to operate, HORIBA Gloss Meters are ideal for measuring Gloss with high accuracy in a wide range of applications. HORIBA Gloss Checkers are maintenance free and cost competitive.

- Measurement angle can be switched between 60° and 20°.
- Since the measurement section is separated from the main display section, it provides high work efficiency and safety regardless of the location.
- Simply press the calibration key on the main unit to automatically perform zero and span calibration in sequence.
