Paint Gloss Meter

A paint gloss meter determines the glossiness by measuring the ratio of reflected luminous flux to incident luminous flux on the paint film surface. It uses a fixed-angle light source to illuminate the sample, and a photodetector receives the intensity of the reflected light. It is used for monitoring the quality of paint application and checking the consistency of product appearance. In automotive painting and furniture coating sites, it quickly assesses the uniformity of surface gloss.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement angle to the sample's gloss range: use a 20° angle for high gloss, a 60° angle for regular gloss, and an 85° angle for low gloss. Ensure the instrument complies with ISO 2813 standards and verify the certification of the calibration plate. Portable models are suitable for on-site inspections, while benchtop models are ideal for laboratory use. Pay attention to the compatibility of the measurement aperture size with curved surfaces.

Determination of specular gloss: Selection criteria for instruments at different angles (20°/60°/85°)
Specular gloss is a measure of a material's ability to reflect light, calculated by comparing the reflected luminous flux of a sample with that of a standard plate. Three angles—20°, 60°, and 85°—are commonly used for measurement, corresponding to high-gloss, medium-gloss, and low-gloss surfaces, respectively.
