Surface Gloss Meters

Precision Reflectance Measurement Instruments for Construction Materials

Surface gloss meters are optical measurement devices that evaluate the degree of light reflected from a surface at specific incident and reflection angles, typically 20°, 60°, and 85°. These instruments are engineered to measure specular gloss, which directly correlates with surface smoothness, coating thickness, and finish quality.

Enviro Test Construct provides a range of gloss measurement systems designed for high-accuracy surface evaluation across construction materials. These instruments operate using calibrated light sources and photodetectors to quantify reflectivity against reference standards, ensuring traceable and reproducible measurements.
