Non-metallic Glossiness Meter

The non-metallic gloss meter irradiates the sample surface with a 60-degree light source and measures the ratio of specular reflected light intensity to the reflectivity of a standard plate. It is used to detect the surface gloss uniformity of non-metallic materials such as coatings and plastics, as well as to verify surface treatment effects in production line quality inspection and process adjustments.
Selection
When selecting, ensure the measurement angle matches the material's gloss range: use a 20-degree angle for high gloss and an 85-degree angle for matte finishes. Verify that the instrument complies with the ISO 2813 standard and check the traceability certificate of the calibration plate. Consider the compatibility between the sample size and the measurement aperture, and ensure the environmental light shielding function is adequate.

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.
