Fabric Gloss Meter

The fabric gloss meter evaluates gloss characteristics by measuring the angle and intensity of light reflected from the fabric surface. It uses a standard light source to illuminate the sample at a fixed angle, and a sensor captures the reflected light and converts it into numerical values. It is used for quality control in textile production, fabric research and development, and appearance evaluation.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement angle suitable for the fabric type: use a 20-degree angle for high-reflectance fabrics, a 60-degree angle for ordinary fabrics, and an 85-degree angle for low-reflectance fabrics. The instrument must comply with standards such as ASTM D523, and check the calibration certificate and measurement repeatability. Choose a portable or benchtop model based on the testing environment, ensuring the interface matches the existing system.

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.

The use of a gloss meter in evaluating the surface gloss of printing paper and art paper.
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.
