Surface Shine Gauge

A surface gloss meter quantifies glossiness by measuring the intensity of specularly reflected light from a sample surface illuminated by a light source at a fixed angle. It is used to detect the reflective properties of materials such as coatings and plastics, ensuring product appearance consistency in quality control.
Selection
Select the corresponding angle based on the common gloss range of the material being tested: 20° for high gloss, 60° for normal gloss, and 85° for low gloss. Consider the curvature of the sample: use a standard aperture for flat surfaces and a small-aperture probe for curved surfaces. Ensure the instrument complies with industry standards such as ASTM D523.
