Synthetic Fiber Gloss Meter

The chemical fiber gloss meter evaluates the gloss characteristics by measuring the intensity of reflected light from the sample surface, utilizing a standard light source and a photodetector to quantify specular reflectance. It is used for quality control of surface gloss in chemical fiber fabrics and plastic products, verifying appearance consistency in textile testing and material acceptance.
Selection
When selecting, ensure the measurement angle matches the gloss range of the sample: use a 20° angle for high gloss, 60° for standard gloss, and 85° for low gloss. Verify that the instrument complies with industry standards such as ASTM D2457, and ensure the calibration plates are intact. Choose the appropriate measurement aperture based on the flatness of the sample, considering the need for portability or a fixed configuration.

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.
