Non-destructive Glossiness Meter

A non-destructive gloss meter projects light onto the sample surface at a fixed angle, measures the intensity of specularly reflected light, and quantifies the surface gloss level using numerical values. It is used for detecting the surface gloss of materials such as coatings and plastics without affecting the tested object.
Selection
Select the appropriate measurement angle based on the common gloss range of the material being tested: 20° for high gloss, 60° for standard gloss, and 85° for low gloss. Ensure the calibration plate is in good condition, and the measurement aperture matches the sample size, considering the instrument's measurement repeatability and portability requirements.

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.
