Metal surface Gloss Meter

The metal surface gloss meter quantifies glossiness by receiving the intensity of light reflected from the metal surface under a standard light source through a photoelectric sensor, converting the light signal into an electrical signal. It is used to detect the reflective performance of metal products, such as those that are electroplated or spray-coated, and to assess coating uniformity and aging during quality inspections.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement aperture's compatibility with metal curved or flat surfaces; a 60-degree angle is commonly suitable for most metals. Compare the gloss range of the sample to select the appropriate measurement range, and opt for shockproof and dustproof models for industrial environments. Check the calibration certificate from a national metrology institution to ensure data traceability.
