This gloss test instrument with a small measuring area is used to quantify surfaces that must be measured. The gloss-measuring device operates on the reflection principle by sending light from a known light source onto the surface to be tested and calculates the gloss level of the surface according to the reflection of light particles. The gloss level in gloss units (GU) is then output to the display of the gloss test instrument.
The measurement geometry of the Gloss Test Instrument PCE-SGM 60 is 60 degrees and is not adjustable. Evaluation software is included with the gloss test instrument which allows you to read out the measurement data to a computer and analyze and store your results. This gloss test instrument has data memory installed, which can accommodate up to 5,000 measured values depending on the setting.
