When to choose the BEVS 1506 Bench Glossmeter
The BEVS 1506 is a benchtop 60° gloss meter with a 2 x 2 mm measurement area, for gloss checks on small, curved or specially shaped items that a handheld meter cannot sit flat on.
- 1Small parts, curved surfaces and specially shaped productsThe BEVS 1506 measures through a 2 x 2 mm area, so it reads gloss on items too small or too curved for a standard gloss meter, such as toys, banknotes, teeth and ceramics. The Elcometer 480 measures over an 8 x 16 mm area at 60°.
- 2Repeated checks at the benchThe sample is placed on the instrument rather than the meter held against it, and a foot switch or the infrared sensor switch triggers each reading, leaving both hands free to position the next piece. Up to 3000 readings are stored and transferred over USB, which suits quality control of many small items in a lab or on a line.
- 3Very high-gloss and mirror-like surfaces at 60°The BEVS 1506 reads up to 2000 GU at 60°, against 1000 GU at the same angle on the Elcometer 480, giving more headroom for polished metals and other highly reflective finishes. It conforms to ASTM D523 and DIN 67530.
