TRICOR's Micro TRI Gloss Meter - Gloss and Thickness in one Instrument

Gloss meter with built-in film thickness sensor

An efficient coatings process should use as little paint as possible and ensure that the quality requirements of your customer are satisfied. Gloss and film thickness are important criteria in verifying the quality of a coating.

The MICRO-TRI-Gloss µ allows both measurements in one handy instrument.

Gloss and Thickness in one measurement process

Now you can save valuable time: Measure gloss and thickness in just seconds. You only need to carry one instrument with you - ideal for quality control on the production line, or in the field for technical service.

Gloss and Thickness measurements at the same spot

The film thickness of the coating may vary from spot to spot due to the application technique. Now you can be sure that gloss and thickness are measured at the same location guaranteeing meaningful analysis of the measurement results.

Your measurements are stored automatically in the instrument and can easily be transferred to a printer or computer into Windows® based programs.

Universal applications and easy handling

20°, 60°, 85° Gloss - for high gloss to matte coatings.
Dual thickness sensor for measurement on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.
Calibration is performed in a protective holder by pressing only one button.
Statistics with averaging function, standard deviation and automatic storing.
PC cable, and/or documentation software, QC-link, are included.

Calibration standard is built into a protective holder - certificate included

Efficient documentation with QC-link

ISO 9000 requires documentation of measurement results.

QC-link software features:

Easy and direct data transfer from the instrument to Windows® based programs.
QC templates prepared in Excel® allow you to create professional QC reports.
All data is summarized in one easy to read report: Gloss, thickness and your own product specific information
Expandable: modifications can be made easily when new requirements are established.
