FAQs About  Gloss meter

The gloss of the paint is defined by the measurement of light reflection at the surface of the paint with the help of a gloss meter. The angle and quantity of light reflected determine the level of gloss, with smoother and reflective surfaces having a higher level of gloss.


The gloss meter is used to measure gloss at typical angles (typically 20°, 60°, or 85°). The instrument illuminates the material and measures the amount of light reflected and states the outcome in gloss units (GU), which is related to perceived brilliance.


An 80 gloss surface will reflect less light as compared to a 100 gloss surface. Both are said to be high gloss, although 100 GU (or higher) reflects almost as much as a mirror. The distinction can be slight in graphic terms, but major in specific uses.


Powder paint gloss levels are classified as:

● Flat: 0–10 GU

● Satin: 11–40 GU

● Semi-gloss: 41–70 GU

● Gloss: 71–85 GU

● High Gloss: 86+ GU
 

These are measured at a 60° angle for standardization.


Gloss is a broad term to describe the reflectivity of a surface. Whereas high gloss is a specific term that has the highest reflectance (usually more than 70 GU). High gloss finishes are shiny, mirror-like, and exhibit more surface blemishes than lower gloss finishes.
