PCE Instruments – Gloss Meter PCE-GM 75

The gloss meter has a measuring surface of Ø 4.5 mm. With this small measuring surface, it enables measurements on small surfaces. With a maximum inaccuracy of 1%, it is a high-precision measuring instrument for fast and easy measurements. The one-button operation allows quick and easy operation.

Another special feature is the data storage function. It automatically stores up to 1,245 measurements. To read the data, it must be connected to a computer. No additional drivers or software are required. The stored data is saved in the .txt file format and can be directly analyzed. A time stamp is created per measurement.

Gloss is a crucial aspect in quality assessment. Analyzing the gloss of a surface helps determine its quality and whether it meets standards. Correct gloss levels are important for the surface treatment process. Excessive or insufficient gloss can indicate the wrong methods or insufficient protection.

Measuring on flat surfaces is easy, but it can be challenging on curvy or small areas. A portable gloss meter enables measurements on such surfaces. The meter should be positioned stably, and upper and lower gloss limits should be determined for each part of the curvy surface. The small measuring window and support area allow measurement on even the tiniest parts of the surface. The gloss meter provides accurate data even on complicated surfaces with changing characteristics. Other measuring instruments cannot match the accuracy of the gloss meter.

Gloss is a parameter addressed in ISO requirements. Curvy surfaces should not be ignored because their measurements are challenging. The correct device overcomes this obstacle and makes these tasks achievable.
