Portable single-angle Gloss Meter

A portable single-angle gloss meter measures the glossiness of a sample surface by illuminating it with a fixed-angle light source and calculating the ratio of the specularly reflected light intensity to the reflectance of a standard plate. The result is directly displayed in gloss units. It is used for on-site rapid inspection of the gloss consistency of materials such as coatings, plastics, and paper, as well as for monitoring the stability of production processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement angle to the sample's gloss range: use 20° for high gloss, 60° for standard gloss, and 85° for low gloss. Verify the instrument's measurement certification and calibration certificate to ensure the range covers the gloss values of the test objects. Pay attention to the instrument's repeatability parameter and temperature adaptability, with the housing needing to be drop-resistant and solvent-resistant. Battery life should meet the frequency of on-site inspections.
