In today’s fast-paced manufacturing and quality control environments, accurate measurement is critical but so is operational efficiency. MetriTec™ instruments are engineered to deliver both. Designed with practicality in mind, the MetriTec™ line combines robust measurement capabilities with intuitive operation, making it the ideal solution for professionals seeking reliability without unnecessary complexity.

Whether you're verifying the optical properties of a transparent film, inspecting surface gloss consistency, or confirming coating thickness on precision components, MetriTec™ instruments enable you to obtain accurate data quickly and confidently, in the lab, on the line, or in the field.

Comprehensive Measurement Solutions for Diverse Applications

The MetriTec™ product family is divided into two core categories, covering a wide range of testing needs:

• Light and Optical Measurement
• Surface and Material Characterization

Each instrument is tailored to meet the specific demands of industries such as automotive, electronics, plastics, coatings, packaging, and building materials.

Light and Optical Measurement

Illuminance Meters

MetriTec™ illuminance meters provide accurate measurement of visible light in lux (lx), ensuring workplace lighting meets regulatory and operational standards. These tools are widely used in environments such as production lines, quality inspection stations, and interior lighting assessments.

Transmittance Meters

These handheld instruments evaluate the visible and UV transmittance of transparent materials such as glass, polycarbonate, and window films. Ideal for automotive, architectural, and film manufacturing applications, they offer a reliable means of verifying optical properties in real time.

UV Light and UV Energy Meters

UV meters from MetriTec™ are indispensable in UV curing, sterilization, and photopolymerization processes. Capable of measuring irradiance and cumulative energy dose, they help operators monitor lamp performance, ensure consistent curing, and validate exposure levels for safety-critical applications.

Glass Thickness Meters

Specialized for non-contact measurement of single or multi-layer flat glass, MetriTec™ glass thickness meters utilize optical reflection techniques to determine the thickness of individual glass layers and air gaps. Commonly used in the inspection of laminated or insulated glazing units (IGUs), they offer high precision without requiring physical access to the edge of the glass.

Surface and Material Characterization

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

These non-destructive testing devices use ultrasonic pulse-echo techniques to measure material thickness — even through coatings or surface corrosion. Common applications include pipeline inspection, metal fabrication, and plastic component verification.

Coating Thickness Gauges

MetriTec™ coating gauges utilize magnetic induction and eddy current methods to assess coating thickness on ferrous and non-ferrous substrates. This dual-technology approach supports a broad range of materials and finishes, from automotive paints to anodized aluminum.

Gloss Meters

Gloss meters measure surface reflectivity at standard angles (20°, 60°, and 85°), providing objective data for aesthetic quality control. They are commonly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, ceramics, and printed media to ensure visual consistency and product appeal.

Colorimeters

For industries where color accuracy is critical, MetriTec™ colorimeters deliver precise color measurements in the CIE Lab* space, along with ΔE values for color difference. These devices enable manufacturers to maintain brand consistency and minimize batch-to-batch variation in color-sensitive products.
