Car paint gloss detection

The gloss of a car paint is a measure of its surface finish and reflective ability, and is usually measured using a gloss meter. This is because the appearance and quality of car paint are closely related to its gloss. If there is insufficient gloss, the painted surface may appear dull and lack luster, affecting the appearance and quality of the vehicle. On the other hand, if the gloss is too high, the surface of the car paint may appear excessively reflective, which will affect the perception and driving experience. Therefore, measuring the gloss of car paint can ensure that its surface appearance and quality meet the requirements, and at the same time provide important reference data for production and quality control

Gloss is an important indicator for evaluating the appearance quality of automotive surface coatings, and a gloss meter is a commonly used tool for measuring gloss. The application of gloss meter in car paint gloss detection can effectively evaluate the gloss of coating surface, and then guide the work of coating quality control and coating research and development.

Measurement steps

Preparation: Place the test head of the gloss meter on a dry and clean test area, and make sure that the test area is free from dust and debris.

Calibrate the instrument: Place the gloss meter on the standard plate for calibration to ensure the accuracy and accuracy of the instrument.

Select the test mode: select the appropriate test mode, such as single-angle mode or multi-angle mode, and parameters such as test angle.

Test sample: Place the sample to be tested on the test area to ensure that the surface of the sample is clean and flat.

Measurement: Press the measurement key, the instrument will automatically read the reflected light intensity on the surface of the sample to calculate the gloss value of the sample.

Record data: record the measured data for subsequent analysis and processing.

NBCHAO reminds you: in the test of car paint gloss, due to the particularity of the coating, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice of test parameters to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement results. At the same time, be sure to pay attention to the preparation of the sample and the cleaning of the test area to avoid external factors affecting the test results.
