Each gloss meter offered by PCE Instruments is easy to use, compact, solidly built and specially designed to take measurements on the spot. This makes our gloss tester products incredibly useful for measuring surfaces offsite or in the field. A gloss meter can be used on smooth, treated or untreated surfaces such as stone, wood, laminates, floors and more. Thus, our gloss tester products are very versatile and useful in a variety of applications. To choose the right gloss meter for your application, you will need to evaluate whether the surface you’re looking to test is high gloss, medium (semi) gloss or low gloss. You will also want to take into consideration the type of material. After determining these characteristics, you may use the following guidelines to identify the angle needed to obtain the most accurate measurement:
20 ° = high gloss coatings, plastics, brightened metal and similar materials
45 ° = medium or semi gloss coatings, ceramics
60 ° = medium or semi gloss coatings, plastics, brightened metal and similar materials
75 ° = low gloss coatings, paper
85 ° = low gloss coatings, plastics, brightened metal and similar materials
