Latest company news about How to measure gloss

 

Gloss is the surface characteristics of an object, which depends on the specular reflection ability of the surface of the object to light. Specular reflection refers to the reflection phenomenon where the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The greater the value of Gloss, the higher the degree of mirroring on the surface of the object. There are three common Gloss measurement angles: 20°, 60°, and 85°.

The larger the measurement angle, that is, the larger the incident angle of light, the more obvious the change is in the high Gloss area, so the high gloss material should be measured with a 20°measurement angle; the low gloss material should be measured with an 85° measurement angle.

 

CHN Spec has a variety of gloss meters to meet the measurement needs of different angles for different industries.
