FAQs About Gloss meter

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 level is the extent of reflectance of light on a surface. It measures the shininess or dullness of a finish, from flat or matte to high gloss. It is important in aesthetic, functional, and quality control applications.


The most common standard measuring gloss is ASTM D523, which covers the procedures of using a gloss meter at 20°, 60°, and 85° angles. The other international standard that is widely used in industrial and laboratory applications is the ISO 2813.


There is no generic mathematical formula for gloss value. Rather, it is measured directly with a gloss meter, which compares how strongly reflected light from a sample matches a standard (typically black glass with a known reflectance).


 A gloss test gauges the reflective quality of a surface by casting light at a fixed angle and measuring the amount reflected. It defines the level of shine or dullness of a surface, and it is very crucial in coatings, automotive, and product finishing
