ALTANA Haze-Gloss Manual - Manual (Page 7)

The haze-gloss reflectometer is a
stationary instrument designed to
measure specular gloss and reflection
haze on paint coatings, plastics,
binders, pigments, and metal surfaces
(mirror reflection).
The sample surface is illuminated at a
defined angle and the reflected light is
measured photoelectrically.
Selection of the appropriate angle of
illumination (geometry) is dependent on
the specific gloss level of the sample
surface: matt, medium, or high gloss.
(For the application of these measuring
ranges, see Chapter 6, Practical
Measuring Hints.)
Advanced electronic engineering in the
development and production of
haze-gloss provides a performance
level, ease of operation and high
accuracy at a level not previously
achieved.

The haze-gloss measuring unit conforms
with the standards ISO 2813, ASTM D 523
and DIN 67 530. In addition, it has been
tested by the
"Bundesanstalt für Materialprüfung (BAM)"
and was found to fulfil the requirements
as set by the DIN 67 530 standard (January
1982).
