45°High Precision Gloss Meter YG45 is a professional instrument for measuring the gloss of an object surface. It uses a 45° angle measurement method to accurately measure the gloss of a product surface and is widely used in gloss measurement and quality inspection in industries such as ceramics, films, paper, and plastics.
45° High Precision Gloss Meter YG45 Product Features
1. Good operating experience
The streamlined curved surface design is more ergonomic, and it can maintain a comfortable grip even in daily or continuous work, effectively avoiding fatigue and bringing a good operating experience to users.
2. Multi-mode measurement
Supports switching between basic mode, statistical mode, continuous mode, and quality control mode to adapt to different application scenarios. The normal mode allows for immediate measurement and fast readings; the quality control mode allows for custom upper and lower limits to achieve fast incoming material testing .
3. Low power consumption
A fully charged AA alkaline battery or NiMH rechargeable battery can measure more than 10,000 times.
4. Calibration function
Supports calibration and has the function of automatically checking the calibration standard plate to ensure the accuracy and reliability of long-term measurement.
5. Lightweight and portable
Lightweight design, easy to carry, not only suitable for precise measurement in the laboratory, but also convenient for flexible application in the production site.
6. Excellent inter-instrument difference and repeatability
The repeatability is very good. In the measurement range of 0-100GU, the repeatability can reach ±0.5GU, and in the measurement range of 100-800GU, the repeatability can reach ±0.5% GU .
7. High-precision measurement
Carefully adjusted measurement system and optical path layout ensure stable and accurate gloss measurement.
8. PC quality management software

FAQs About Gloss meter
Gloss is a broad term to describe the reflectivity of a surface. Whereas high gloss is a specific term that has the highest reflectance (usually more than 70 GU). High gloss finishes are shiny, mirror-like, and exhibit more surface blemishes than lower gloss finishes.
A gloss test gauges the reflective quality of a surface by casting light at a fixed angle and measuring the amount reflected. It defines the level of shine or dullness of a surface, and it is very crucial in coatings, automotive, and product finishing
A gloss meter measures the amount of light reflected from a surface at a specific angle. It's commonly used to assess surface finishes such as paint, coatings, plastics, and paper for consistency, quality control, and visual appearance evaluation.
Gloss level is the extent of reflectance of light on a surface. It measures the shininess or dullness of a finish, from flat or matte to high gloss. It is important in aesthetic, functional, and quality control applications.
Powder paint gloss levels are commonly classified as:
● Flat/Matte: 0–10 GU
● Satin: 10–40 GU
● Semi-Gloss: 40–70 GU
● Gloss: 70–85 GU
High Gloss: 85+ GU
These ranges can vary by manufacturer and application angle.
