SISCO portable gloss meter stores up to 35,000 readings. Equipped with USB and Bluetooth connectivity for seamless data export, report printing, and analysis via PC software. This 60 degeree gloss meter provides reliable gloss readings from 0 to 1000 GU with a 0.1 GU resolution. The non-contact measuring distance of 10 mm ensures accurate results while preventing damage to delicate or freshly coated surfaces.
High-definition display, continuous measurement capability
- This gloss checker features a large high-definition screen that clearly displays gloss meter readings, gloss measurement units, and relevant status information.
- The gloss level meter's internal structure incorporates precision optical components and a stable light source system, achieving high-precision gloss measurement through fixed-angle beam projection and reflected light collection.
- The portable gloss meter supports continuous measurement mode, suitable for gloss testing on various material surfaces including wood, coatings, metals, plastics, and ceramics.
Bluetooth connectivity, compact design
- Data transfer via USB or Bluetooth enhances the gloss tester's convenience and flexibility. Once Bluetooth connection is established, users can save glossiness measurement data, set continuous measurement duration, and configure auto-shutdown timing through the companion app.
- The gloss meter for paint is compact and portable, can be easily placed on a desk or used for long-term monitoring with its dedicated base. The 60 degree gloss meter adopts low-power design and auto-shutdown, extending battery life.
Application
This portable gloss meter is primarily used for precise measurement and comparative analysis of material surface gloss. The gloss meter for marble is widely applied in the coatings and paint industry for coating quality control and batch consistency testing, and in the plastics, rubber, and metal products sectors to evaluate surface molding, polishing, or spraying effects. The gloss tester is also suitable for appearance grading and project acceptance of construction and decorative materials such as ceramics, stone, glass, and flooring.

A1: What is a gloss meter?
Q1: Gloss meters are used to measure the surface gloss of materials. A gloss meter is used to measure the reflectance of light on the surface of an object, that is, the specular gloss. Depending on the angle of incidence selected during measurement, the results are also different. The larger the angle of incidence, the higher the specular reflectance, the higher the gloss, and vice versa.
A2: What are the measurement angles of the gloss meter?
Q2: Gloss meter, mainly contains three measuring angles, respectively 20 °, 60 °, and 85 °, different measuring angles for different glossy object surfaces.
A3: How to choose the measuring angle of the gloss meter?
Q3: For different object surfaces, the suitable measurement angle is not the same, general materials, generally use a 60 ° gloss meter can be measured, high gloss materials, you can choose a 20 ° gloss meter, for low gloss materials, you can choose 85 ° gloss meter.
Tips: What’s the difference between a 60° gloss meter and other angle meters?
A 60° gloss meter is the most commonly used and general-purpose option for measuring surface gloss. It works well for medium-gloss materials such as standard paints, plastics, wood coatings, and packaging. Because it provides balanced sensitivity across a wide range of finishes, 60° is often considered the industry standard and the default choice for most quality control applications.
Other angles are designed for more specific gloss levels. A 20° gloss meter is better for high-gloss surfaces like automotive paint or polished coatings, as it offers higher sensitivity for very shiny finishes. An 85° gloss meter is used for low-gloss or matte surfaces, where a 60° reading may not detect subtle differences effectively.
In short, choose 60° for general use, 20° for very glossy surfaces, and 85° for matte finishes. If your products vary widely in gloss level, a multi-angle gloss meter may provide the most flexibility.
