Horiba IG‑340 Handy Gloss Checker

Gloss is an important visual property of an object's surface. The degree of light reflected from the object's surface is termed glossiness. However, the perception of glossiness is subjective and depends on weather conditions, physical abilities, etc. The IG-340 gloss checker helps to quantify gloss measurement and perform objective numerical gloss value.

The gloss checker IG-340's user-friendly interface allows intuitive operations for instant gloss measurement. Due to ergonomic and lightweight design, the IG-340 can be held and operated by one hand. High accuracy, repeatability, and precision make this tool indispensable in an object's appearance check and quality control.

The IG-340 uses a very common 60° measurement angle, which allows accurate measurement from low gloss surfaces to highly polished textures. This enables gloss measurement of different materials including stone, wood, leather, rubber, glass, metal, plastic, and various application fields from floor maintenance, car polishing, to stone and building materials appearance inspection. Ingress Protection IP42* enables outdoor gloss measurement and use in the fields where water drops are present.

Internal memory can store 100 readings and 200 average data with time and date. Instant data output via USB connection and without any dedicated software allows QA and other professional reports to be easily generated. The IG-340 does not need any special measurement technique.
