Spray Paint Gloss Gauge

A gloss meter works by directing a light source at a fixed angle onto the coating surface, with a detector receiving the intensity of the specularly reflected light. This light signal is then converted into an electrical signal to display the gloss value. It is used to quantify the reflective capability of surfaces such as paint and plastics, and to monitor the consistency of coating appearance in applications like automotive spraying and furniture coating.
Selection
When selecting, ensure that the measurement angle range covers the glossiness of the sample to be tested. Use a 20° angle for high-gloss surfaces, a 60° angle for standard surfaces, and an 85° angle for low-gloss surfaces. Verify the certification documents of the instrument calibration plate, and ensure the device body meets the required IP protection rating to suit the workshop environment. Compare the measurement repeatability indicators of different brands and ensure the interface type is compatible with the existing data system.
