Handheld Gloss Measurement Instruments NHG268 Multi Angle Gloss Tester for Furniture Paint Ceramic

The reason for the influence of the gloss of the marble is the size of the crystal grains. The larger the grain size, the lower the gloss. The 3nh HG60 marble gloss meter can be used to detect the gloss of the marble surface.

From the perspective of the mineral structure of the marble, the grain size affects the gloss of the marble. The larger the crystal grain size, the lower the gloss obtained and the worse the polishing performance. The more uniform the crystal particles, the better the polishing performance of the marble. There are also differences in the gloss of the polished surface of the marble, that is, the gloss has directionality. The polished surface of the medium and fine grained stone has good consistency in different directions, and the gloss of the polished surface of the marble is improved. The difference in different directions is decreasing.

The gloss of the marble will become dull with time, so we need to maintain the marble regularly to maintain its gloss. The 3nh HG268 marble gloss meter can be used to check the gloss of the marble surface.

Marble is very popular because people likes its gloss and natural texture, but the gloss of the marble will become dull as time goes by, how can we maintain the marble?

1. Avoid the marble in the oil, because the marble is easy to absorb oil and spills.
2. Maintain basic protective agent when using marble.
3. Regularly clean the marble (use a mild product to clean it, because acidic cleaners will corrode the surface of the marble to reduce its gloss)
4. If the marble has been damaged, use a steel ball to wipe the previous gloss after polishing with an electric sander.
5. Regular waxing to make the gloss more durable

Why Measure Gloss ?

Gloss is an aspect of the visual perception of objects that is as important as color when considering the psychological impact of products on a consumer. In other words, "Gloss Sells" Gloss has been defined as the attribute of a surfaces that causes it to have a shiny or lustrous, metallic appearance.

The gloss of a surface can be greatly influenced by a number of factors, for example the smoothness achieved during polishing, the amount and type of coating applied or the quality of the substrate. Manufacturers design their products to have maximum appeal. Such examples are; highly reflective car body panels, glossy magazine covers or satin black designer furniture. Now what happens when products all of a sudden look different? Customers see this as a defect, or poor quality. Using a gloss meter and having good quality control practices eliminates this variable as a problem.

It is important therefore that gloss levels be consistent on every product or across different batches of products. Gloss can also be a measure of the quality of a surface, for instance a drop in the gloss of a coated surface may indicate problems with its cure- leading to other failures such as poor adhesion or lack of protection for the coated surface.

It is for these reasons that many manufacturing industries monitor the gloss of their products, from cars, printing and furniture to food, pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics. We also have Gloss Sensors used in process for real time gloss measurement.

Gloss Meter by Industry

Many industries measure gloss to ensure the quality of their products. It has been shown that the gloss level of a product has as much psychological impact on a consumer as its colour. Many products are designed with combinations of high gloss and matte finishes, maximizing their customer appeal.

Surface quality can often be assessed by measuring gloss. For example poorly cured paints or coatings can exhibit unusual gloss levels and can lead to chipping and flaking at a later stage in manufacture. Monitoring a product's gloss means that problems such as these can be highlighted early, avoiding costs of re-coating or recalling products.
