Plane Gloss Meter

A gloss meter measures the surface gloss of materials such as paper, plastic, and paint by illuminating the sample at a fixed angle with a light source and calculating the ratio of specularly reflected light intensity to the reflectance of a standard plate. It is used to quantify the surface glossiness of materials and monitor product appearance consistency in production lines and quality inspections.
Selection
Select the corresponding measurement angle based on the common gloss range of the tested material: use a 20° angle for high-gloss surfaces, a 60° angle for ordinary materials, and an 85° angle for matte surfaces. Ensure that the instrument’s measurement aperture matches the size of the area to be measured, and verify the calibration cycle requirements for the instrument according to the national metrological verification regulations.
