Most users use the Metal gloss meter to measure the surface gloss of the product, in order to test whether the product itself meets the design and sales requirements. Whether the surface gloss of the product is normally related to product sales, how to judge the gloss value of this product? The following is a brief introduction to the meaning of the gloss value and the detection standard.

To determine the size of the gloss value, there must first be a standard, such as the angle of observation or measurement, the point of measurement, and whether the sample is representative. If you simply want to determine the gloss value of a batch of products, you can use the same Metal gloss meter to measure the value and use the same measurement angle to compare the value. The larger the measurement value, the higher the gloss. The higher the surface, the glossier the surface, and vice versa the lower the gloss.

The size of the gloss value measurement mainly depends on the angle of light source illumination and observation. The measurement angle is 20°, 45°, 60° or 85°. Generally, 45° is mainly used to measure the printing paper industry and is not commonly used. Different industries often prefer instruments that measure at different angles, but the common angle is 60°. In addition, the measurement range and measurement accuracy of different types of Metal gloss meter are also different. Therefore, if we want to compare the gloss value correctly, the method that needs to be expressed should be to specify the measurement angle, the manufacturer's name of the measuring instrument, and the model.
