Which gloss meter angle is right for my application?
Gloss is measured in gloss units (GU) this is traceable to reference standards held at NIST (USA).
High Gloss: 20° The acute measurement angle of 20° gives improved resolution for high gloss surfaces. Surfaces that measure 70GU and above at the standard angle of 60° are often measured with this geometry. The 20° angle is more sensitive to haze effects that affect the appearance of a surface.
Universal Measurement Angle: 60° All gloss levels can be measured using the standard measurement angle of 60°. This is used as the reference angle with the complimentary angles of 85° and 20° often used for low and high gloss levels respectively.
Low Gloss: 85° For improved resolution of low gloss a grazing angle of 85° is used to measure the surface. This angle is recommended for surfaces which measure less than 10GU when measured at 60°. This angle also has a larger measurement spot which will average out differences in the gloss of textured or slightly uneven surfaces.
