Gloss measurement
The gloss of a surface is measured with reflectometers according to DIN EN ISO 2813. Reflectometers are measuring devices that determine the directional reflection of a surface.
The surface is illuminated at a certain angle (20 °, 60 ° or 85 °). The proportion of light reflected at the opposite side at the same angle is measured. This reflectometer value is the gloss level with respect to a certain angle.
In the industry gloss levels are only measured or reported in reflectometer values. Since not always a glossmeter was available, in 1955 by Dr. med. C. Boller developed a gloss scale that uses standard patterns to define six different degrees of gloss: dull matte, matte, semi-matte, semi-gloss, gloss and high gloss.
