Transmission Gloss Meter

A gloss meter projects light onto the sample surface at a fixed angle and measures the intensity of specularly reflected light, where a higher value indicates stronger surface reflectivity. It is used to detect the surface gloss uniformity of materials such as paper, plastics, and coatings, ensuring product appearance consistency during quality inspection.
Selection
Select the appropriate measurement range based on the gloss range of the material to be tested, consider the probe structure to match the requirements of flat or curved surface measurement, verify the measurement angles specified by industry standards, confirm the compatibility of the instrument calibration method with the samples, and evaluate whether the data output interface meets recording requirements.

The use of a gloss meter in evaluating the surface gloss of printing paper and art paper.
Gloss meters quantify paper gloss by measuring surface reflected light, with 20°, 60°, and 85° angles commonly used for high, medium, and low gloss surfaces, respectively.

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.
