Surface Gloss Measurement Instrument

A surface gloss meter illuminates the sample surface with a light source at a fixed angle and measures the ratio of the specularly reflected light intensity to the reflectivity of a standard plate. It is used to quantify the reflective properties of materials such as coatings and plastics, monitoring product appearance consistency during quality inspection.
Selection
When selecting, consider the adaptability of measurement angle combinations to different gloss ranges, check that the instrument complies with ISO/ASTM standards, and verify the traceability certificate of the calibration plate. Choose the measurement aperture based on the sample curvature, compare the measurement repeatability across different brands, and evaluate the adaptability of the operation interface.

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.
