Measuring the glossiness of cloth is to evaluate its appearance quality and material characteristics, because glossiness is one of the important indicators to characterize the smoothness, reflection ability and texture of the cloth surface. High-gloss fabrics have a smooth, bright, and reflective surface, which can improve their aesthetics and texture, thereby enhancing their market competitiveness. At the same time, the high-gloss fabric surface also has better anti-fouling properties, which can effectively resist the adhesion of dust, stains and other impurities to the fabric surface, making it easier to clean and maintain. Low-gloss fabrics, on the other hand, may exhibit a softer, more natural style, suitable for some specific applications. Measuring the glossiness of fabrics can also help manufacturers monitor production quality, discover problems in the production process in time, and make improvements and adjustments to ensure product stability and consistency. In addition, for some special fields, such as textile science, textile design, etc., the glossiness of cloth also has important research and application value.
Measurement steps
Lay the fabric flat on a flat, level surface so that it is well stretched and wrinkle-free.
Place the gloss meter flat at a distance of about 30-50mm from the surface of the fabric, keeping it perpendicular to the surface of the fabric.
Press the "TEST" button on the gloss meter and wait for the meter to complete the measurement, which usually takes a few seconds.
Repeat the above steps to take multiple measurements on the same piece of fabric, and take the average as the final result.
Measurement results are recorded, compared and evaluated. Gloss meters usually display a number, the higher the number, the smoother and glossier the surface of the fabric.
North and South Chao reminds you: different types of fabrics have different surface textures, which will affect the gloss measurement results, so when comparing the gloss of different types of fabrics, the same type of fabric should be used
