Glossiness Meter for Spray Applications

The spray gloss meter projects light onto the sample surface at a fixed angle, measures the intensity of the specularly reflected light, and calculates the gloss value. It is used to evaluate the reflective properties of surfaces such as coatings and plastics, and to assess the consistency of appearance in quality inspection and production control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement angle (20° for high gloss, 60° for general gloss, and 85° for low gloss), verify that the instrument complies with ISO/ASTM standards, confirm that the measurement range covers the sample's gloss range, inspect the integrity of the calibration plate, ensure the sample's flatness and size are suitable, and guarantee that the operating environment is free from vibrations.

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.
