Onsite Gloss Meter Calibration

AML instruments are unique in being the only UK company able to carry out gloss meter calibration at your premises. This saves you significant time and the cost of sending your instrument back to the manufacturer for calibration. Our friendly engineers will work around your testing routine, ensuring minimum disruption.

Us visiting you can also be cost-effective, especially if you have more than one gloss meter or other test equipment we could calibrate at the same time. AML offer calibration services for a large range of disciplines and instruments, so let us know if you need help achieving measurement accuracy elsewhere.

All gloss calibrations are fully traceable to National Standards though an ISO 17025 laboratory.

Offsite Gloss Meter Calibration

We offer an offsite service where you send in your gloss meter to us for calibration. Our typical turnaround is five working days, but can be reduced to 24-48 hours if pre-arranged.

A local calibration and collection delivery service is also available for businesses within a 35 mile radius of our dedicated calibration facility (Postcode LN1 2WE).

Why Have Your Gloss Meter Calibrated?

So you’re thinking I calibrate my gloss meter every time I use it, so why pay for it to be calibrated again? However, when you perform the user calibration you’re only checking and adjusting it at a single point of its measuring range. Also, how do you know your gloss tile is still as glossy as it was?

Booking your gloss meters in for regular calibration (once a year is typically recommended) ensures your gloss measurements are being guided by the correct calibration standards. Whether you use gloss meters for laminate floor maintenance or measuring the gloss of car paints, calibration is the backbone of quality control, product consistency, and compliance with current industry standards.

Gloss meter calibration procedure

When one of our team calibrates your gloss meter, they perform the following:

  • Clean optics and tile.
  • Calibrate at 4 points across the range of the gloss meter.
  • Check condition of optics and tile.
  • Evaluate the value of the instruments own tile and re-enter this in the instrument for the user calibrations.

Periodic gloss meter calibration guarantees quality and repeatability of your measurements, as well as traceability to internationally recognised reference standards. These include ISO 2813, ASTM D523, ASTM D2457, DIN 67530, JIS Z 8741, ISO 7668, and TAPPI T480.
