People assume that there does not exist a method to measure gloss on smaller pieces or components. Normally a gloss meter will require a piece that is flat and is no smaller than 0.75" in size. In fact there is one gloss meter that can measure down to 2mm x 2mm. This gloss meter is called the Novo-Curve. This low cost gloss meter is a table top version and has a footswitch for two handed operation.
It measures using the standard 60 degree gloss angle geometry used for most products like paint, plastic, printing, etc.
The Novo Curve also has an optionalcylinder jig that can be purchased to hold a round piece securely in place perfectly positioned over the measurement port.
This Novo Curve special gloss meter can be seen on www.imbotec.com/products/328/
For the Cylindrical Jig, you can see it at www.imbotec.com/products/331/
