Paint Glossiness Meter

The gloss meter for colored paint measures the ratio of the specularly reflected light intensity from the sample surface, illuminated by a light source at a fixed angle, to the reflectance of a standard plate. It is used to assess the smoothness of coating surfaces and to evaluate the surface reflective properties in quality inspections of paints, plastics, and printed materials.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement angle range to the gloss level of the sample: use a 20° angle for high gloss, a 60° angle for standard gloss, and an 85° angle for low gloss. The instrument should have calibration capabilities, a probe that is wear- and corrosion-resistant, and it is essential to review its metrological certification and measurement repeatability data to ensure compatibility with existing testing standards.

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.

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. The gloss characteristics of printing paper and art paper differ, so the appropriate measurement angle should be selected based on the estimated gloss level.
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.
