Mirror Gloss Meter

A gloss meter measures the glossiness of a surface by directing a light source at a fixed angle onto the sample, comparing the intensity of the reflected light with that from a standard reference plate to calculate the gloss value. It is used to quantify the reflective properties of materials such as paints and plastics, ensuring product appearance consistency in quality control.
Selection
When selecting a gloss meter, consider matching the measurement angle (such as 20°, 60°, 85°) to the gloss range of the sample, confirm that the instrument complies with ISO or ASTM standards, check the condition of the calibration plate and the portability of the instrument, and ensure measurement stability and data traceability.

Gloss meter measures the surface brightness of packaging film.
This article introduces the principle and method of using a gloss meter to measure the surface glossiness of packaging films. The gloss meter quantifies the specular reflection capability of a surface in gloss units by measuring the ratio of reflected light from the sample to that from a standard plate.
Application of Gloss Meter in Gloss Measurement of Varnish Coatings
A gloss meter is used to measure the gloss of varnish coatings by detecting surface-reflected light to quantitatively assess the appearance of the coating. The measurement is based on the principle of specular reflection of light, commonly employing angles such as 20°, 60°, and 85° to correspond to different gloss ranges, and follows standard formulas for calculation.
Glossmeter 75-degree angle measurement for paper gloss
This article introduces the principle and method of measuring paper gloss using a 75-degree specular gloss meter. Gloss is defined as the ratio of the light reflected from the paper surface to that reflected from a standard reference plate, with the 75-degree angle commonly used for measuring medium to high gloss papers.
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.
