Gloss measurement is an essential quality control procedure across a wide range of industries, including paints and coatings, plastics, metal components, automotive and furniture manufacturing. In addition to determining the aesthetic appearance of a surface, the gloss value is an important indicator of production process quality and finished product compliance.
Variations in gloss can reveal differences in coating application, drying times, surface preparation or material formulation. For this reason, gloss measurement has become an integral part of quality control procedures both in laboratories and directly on production lines.

on a wide range of industrial surfaces.
How Is Surface Gloss Measured?
Gloss is measured using a gloss meter, an instrument that projects a beam of light onto a surface and measures the amount of light reflected at a specific angle. The resulting values provide an objective method for comparing different surfaces and verifying compliance with required quality standards.
Among the most highly regarded solutions in the industry is the DeFelsko PosiTector GLS, designed to perform measurements at 20°, 60° and 85° geometries, enabling highly accurate and repeatable evaluation of high-gloss, semi-gloss and matte surfaces.
Its fast data acquisition, ease of use and rugged construction make it an ideal choice for both production quality control and laboratory and research applications.
