Gloss Meters
Confirm that each product is as shiny as the last. These meters measure the gloss of paint and coatings as well as metal, ceramic, and granite surfaces. All come with a USB cord to transfer data to PCs.
Meters with a 60° field of view can evaluate the gloss of most standard, semi-gloss surfaces.
Meters with a 20°, 60°, and 85° field of view can evaluate low-gloss/matte and high-gloss surfaces in addition to semi-gloss surfaces—their gloss measuring range is 10 times as broad as meters with only a 60° field of view. They’re compatible with a free app that lets you use your Android device to start and stop recording and send data using Bluetooth.
These meters come with a calibration block, and you should calibrate them before each reading. Lay the block on a flat surface and press the calibration button on your meter. Position the meter on top of the block, and your meter will calibrate.
