Rhopoint Novo-Gloss™ Gloss Meters
Test Method

Gloss is an important aspect of coating fininsh. In order to allow comparison of measurement values an international standard was established. To identify a difference over the complete range from matt to high gloss, 3 geometries are used; 20°, 60° and 85° measured perpendicular to the surface being inspected.

Gloss Range

60° Value

Angle Of Geometry to use

Low Gloss

less than 10

85° Geometry

Semi Gloss

10 - 70

60° Geometry

High Gloss

greater than 70

20° Geometry

In addition there are industry specific applications for 45° and 75° geometries which are indicated below
