Haze & Gloss Meter

The haze gloss meter evaluates surface clarity by measuring the ratio of specularly reflected light to diffusely reflected light on an object's surface. This instrument illuminates the sample with a standard light source and detects the intensity of specular reflection as well as the degree of interference from surrounding diffuse light. It is suitable for detecting haze defects on high-gloss surfaces and is commonly used in quality control for automotive paint finishes, plastic components, and coatings.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement angle to the sample's gloss range: use a 20° angle for high gloss, a 60° angle for standard gloss, and an 85° angle for low gloss. Verify that the instrument complies with industry standards such as ISO 2813 and ASTM D4039. Choose the measurement aperture based on the sample's flatness; curved samples require a small-aperture probe. Ensure the instrument has temperature compensation functionality and access to regular calibration services.

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.
Haze meter detects haze on high-gloss coating surfaces
Haze is the phenomenon where a high-gloss coating surface causes a blurring of reflected images due to light scattering, which reduces visual clarity. A haze meter quantifies the haze value by measuring the intensity ratio between the specularly reflected light and the scattered light at specific small angles. The lower the value, the clearer the surface.

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.

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.
