Gloss and Haze Tester

The gloss haze meter illuminates the surface of a sample with a light source and measures the ratio of specularly reflected light to diffusely reflected light. Gloss reflects the surface's ability to reflect light, while haze characterizes the degree of internal scattering in transparent materials. It is used to detect the surface smoothness and light transmission uniformity of products such as coatings, plastics, and paper.
Selection
When selecting, consider a measurement angle range covering 20° to 85°, complying with ASTM D523 standards. Check that the instrument's repeatability error is less than 0.2GU, and it includes a calibration plate with a traceable certificate. Confirm that the sample stage accommodates both flat and curved surface measurements, and the operating software supports data export functionality. For common materials such as metallic paint, configure with 20°/60°, and for high-gloss plastics, use 20°.
