Micro-hole GlossMeter

The small-aperture gloss meter measures the ratio of the reflected light intensity from the sample surface to the reflectance of a standard plate by illuminating the sample with a light source at a fixed angle. It is used to quantify the surface gloss of materials such as paper, plastic, and coatings, ensuring consistency in product appearance both in production lines and laboratory settings.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement angle to the sample's gloss range: use a 20-degree angle for high-gloss surfaces and an 85-degree angle for matte surfaces. Ensure the instrument complies with industry standards such as ASTM D523 and check the integrity of the calibration plate. Choose between portable or benchtop models based on the usage scenario, and ensure the interface is compatible with the existing data system.

Key steps for measuring the efflux time of varnish using a viscosity cup method
This article introduces the method for measuring the outflow time of varnish using a viscosity cup. The principle is based on Poiseuille's law, where viscosity is estimated by recording the time it takes for the liquid to completely flow out from the small hole at the bottom of the cup—longer times typically indicate higher viscosity.
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.

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.
