Overview

micro-TRI-gloss is a versatile glossmeter that combines all three angles — 20°, 60° and 85° — in one instrument to cover surfaces from high to low gloss. These three geometries are defined in international standards, each optimized for a gloss range; by combining them, the instrument keeps you compliant with standards and quick to detect quality variation across the full gloss range. All BYK‑Gardner instruments supplied by K&K carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty.
