It is adjustable to angles of 20, 60 and 85 degrees to handle a variety of applications. According to the company, 60 degrees is considered the universal measurement angle, and it can be used as a basic gloss assessment for any surface in applications such as paints, coatings, plastics, automotive interiors and general manufacturing. For high-gloss measurements that require increased resolution, 20 degrees is recommended.
