General Purpose Glossiness Meter

A universal gloss meter projects light onto the sample surface at a fixed angle and measures the ratio of the intensity of specularly reflected light to the reflectivity of a standard plate. It is used to quantify the surface glossiness of materials such as paper, plastic, and coatings, enabling the assessment of appearance consistency in production line quality control and laboratory comparisons.
Selection
Select the corresponding measurement angle based on the common gloss range of the material being tested: 20° for high-gloss surfaces, 60° for standard surfaces, and 85° for matte surfaces. Ensure the instrument complies with industry standards such as ISO 2813 and ASTM D523, verify that the measurement range covers actual testing requirements, and consider the suitability of portable or benchtop models for different application scenarios.

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.
Three-angle gloss meter for evaluating coatings with different gloss levels
Glossiness is a key indicator for evaluating the optical properties of a surface, defined as the ratio of the reflected luminous flux to the incident luminous flux, typically expressed as a percentage or in gloss units.
Method for measuring the gloss of ink surfaces using a gloss meter
This article introduces the method of measuring the surface gloss of ink using a gloss meter. Gloss is a key indicator of the visual quality of ink, and the instrument quantifies gloss by measuring reflected light at specific angles.
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.
Determination of Non-Volatile Content: Comparison of Precision between Gravimetric and Volumetric Methods
This article compares two common methods for determining non-volatile content: gravimetric method and volumetric method. The gravimetric method involves evaporating the sample through heating and weighing the residue. It is simple, versatile, and suitable for most stable samples. The volumetric method is based on titration through chemical reactions, making it suitable for measuring specific components, although its method development is more complex.
