Gloss Meter for Curved Surfaces

A curved surface gloss meter determines the surface gloss by measuring the intensity of reflected light when a light source illuminates the curved surface at a fixed angle. It is used to detect the gloss uniformity of curved workpieces, such as automotive parts and plastic casings, ensuring that the appearance quality meets production requirements.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the curvature radius of the object being measured with the arc of the instrument's measuring head, ensure the angular range covers the gloss range of the sample, check whether the instrument's calibration method supports curved standard plates, and evaluate the adaptability of the probe contact method to soft materials.

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.
