A gloss meter is a device that is used to measure gloss, haze, and percentage reflectance of a surface. Gloss is measured by projecting a known amount of light onto a surface with a fixed angle and measuring the amount of light reflected at an equal but opposite angle. Gloss meter is used to measure gloss of materials such as coating, painting, metal, and stone. This is widely used in industrial processes, automotive, construction of building and other similar fields of application. Gloss meter is a portable device as it is small in size. It is easy to operate as it offers menu-driven color display, statistics, ergonomic design, and is robust in nature. Gloss meters are available in all three types such as, single angle gloss meter, two angle gloss meter, and three angle gloss meter. Selection of gloss meter for an application depends on surface nature of a material, after finding out these characteristics a measurement angle is decided to obtain the most accurate measurement. Generally, three measurement angles are used i.e. 20°, 60°, and 85°, to cover gloss meter applications.
Market Dynamics: Global Gloss Meter Market
The major driving factor for the growth of global gloss meter market is the increasing use of gloss meter in various applications. In automotive industry, gloss meter is used to deliver best quality product with gloss and color level that attracts the most to end customer.
