Novo-Gloss Trio Glossmeter

New low cost glossmeter with 20/60/85° for all gloss applications. Rapid data transfer. Results batching with user definable names. Pass / Fail for easy identification of non conformances.

The Novo-Gloss Trio Glossmeter Rhopoint is a versatile and cost-effective glossmeter designed for fast, reliable gloss readings—from matte finishes to mirror-like surfaces. With its three measurement angles (20°, 60°, and 85°), it adapts easily to different inspection needs, from high-gloss finishes to low-gloss coatings.

Applications of the Novo-Gloss Trio Glossmeter

This glossmeter is ideal for a wide range of industries and materials:

  • Automotive exterior and interior.
  • Paints and coatings.
  • Furniture and metal finishes.
  • Plastics and powder coatings.
  • Polished stone and textiles.
  • Smartphone, tablet, and laptop covers.
  • Yacht manufacturing and marine coatings.

What does it measure and how?

Gloss is measured by projecting a known amount of light onto a surface and quantifying how much is reflected. Results are expressed in Gloss Units (GU) and comply with ISO 2813 and ASTM D523, traceable to NIST reference standards.

Three angles in one glossmeter

  • 60° – Universal angle: The standard measurement angle used for most gloss levels. Common in quality control of coatings, plastics, and general surfaces.
  • 85° – Low gloss surfaces: Ideal for surfaces measuring less than 10 GU at 60°. Increases sensitivity for matte or lightly textured finishes.
  • 20° – High gloss finishes: Recommended for surfaces above 70 GU. Provides greater resolution on high-gloss finishes and detects haze that may affect appearance.

Key features of the Novo-Gloss Trio Rhopoint

  • Simultaneous measurement of 3 angles in GU or % reflectivity.
  • On-screen statistics for batch values, trends, and analysis.
  • Graphical reporting for visual data overview.
  • Pass/fail parameters for instant quality control.
  • Automatic measurement mode for large area scanning.
  • User-defined batch names and sizes for efficient reporting.

Connectivity & data analysis

  • No software required for transfer: USB connection recognized as a standard storage device—easily export .CSV files via File Explorer.
  • Bluetooth® wireless transmission: Send data instantly to Excel or other programs on your PC or tablet.
  • Novo-Gloss Multi Gauge software: View, compare, and export readings in PDF, Excel, or CSV formats.
