Powder Gloss Meter

The powder gloss meter quantifies gloss by measuring the intensity of reflected light from the surface of a powder sample illuminated by a light source at a fixed angle. It is used to detect the reflective properties of materials such as powder coatings and plastics, and to compare the gloss consistency of different batches of products in quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement angle matching industry standards: 20° is suitable for high-gloss powders, 60° is the general-purpose angle, and 85° is used for low-gloss materials. Ensure the instrument's calibration is traceable to national standards, the sample pellet mold must be flat, and the measurement repeatability error should be less than 1 GU. Choose the appropriate measurement aperture based on the powder particle size, and select a dustproof model for humid environments.
