The purpose of measuring the surface gloss of textiles is to evaluate its appearance quality and fiber characteristics, because gloss is one of the important indicators to characterize the smoothness, reflection ability and texture of textile surfaces. The surface of high-gloss textiles is smooth and shiny, which can improve the aesthetics and texture of textiles, thereby enhancing their market competitiveness. At the same time, the high-gloss textile surface can also have better anti-fouling performance, which can effectively resist the adhesion of dust, stains and other impurities to the textile surface, making it easier to clean and maintain. Low-gloss textiles, on the other hand, may exhibit a more subdued, understated style, suitable for some specific applications. Measuring the surface gloss of textiles 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.
Gloss is a measure of how shiny a textile surface is. Using a gloss meter can quickly and accurately measure the gloss of textiles, which is of great significance for testing product quality and controlling production processes.
Measurement steps
Prepare the sample: Cut a 2-3 cm square sample from the textile to be tested.
Standardization instrument: Turn on the gloss meter, place the instrument on the standardization plate, and press the standardization button to standardize.
Place the sample: Place the sample on the instrument, make sure the sample is flat and free of air bubbles.
Measurement: Press the measurement button to measure and record the measurement results.
Precautions
Avoid bumping or dropping the instrument during measurement.
Keep the instrument clean and dry to prevent impurities such as dust and dirt from entering the instrument.
Avoid measuring under strong light or direct sunlight, so as not to affect the measurement results.
According to the different materials and colors of textiles, choose the appropriate gloss meter measurement mode and measurement angle
