    Surface Roughness Testers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Surface Roughness Testers.
    These units test for the most popular parameters, such as Ra, Rp, and Rq. You can also set an upper and lower limit for go/no-go readings, or test for a specific standard, such as ANSI, ISO, JIS, or VDA. Testers can save up to 10 readings and can take 1,000 readings on a single charge. The touch screen makes it easy to set up and review readings. They have an RS-232C port for a direct connection to your PC.
    Use the SPC data output cable (sold separately) to connect your tester to a Mitutoyo miniprocessor.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Testers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency regulations.

    Gloss Meters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Gloss Meters.
    Confirm that each product is as shiny as the last. These meters measure the gloss of paint and coatings as well as metal, ceramic, and granite surfaces.
    Meters with a 20°, 60°, and 85° field of view are compatible with a free app that lets you use your Android device to start and stop recording and send data using Bluetooth.
    60° Field of View—Meters with a 60° field of view can evaluate the gloss of most standard, semi-gloss surfaces.
    3 ft. Long USB Cord—All meters come with a USB cord to transfer data to PCs.
    Calibration Block—These meters come with a calibration block, and you should calibrate them before each reading. Lay the block on a flat surface and press the calibration button on your meter. Position the meter on top of the block, and your meter will calibrate.
    Field of View—Meters with a 20°, 60°, and 85° field of view can evaluate low-gloss/matte and high-gloss surfaces in addition to semi-gloss surfaces—their gloss measuring range is 10 times as broad as meters with only a 60° field of view.
