PCE Plus Gloss Meter - GM 60Plus
The PCE GM 60 Plus Gloss Meter is a measuring device for the determination of gloss on different materials. Light is emitted by the device onto the part that is to be tested, a part of that light is absorbed by the surface, and the other part is reflected back. The reflected light is what's captured and measured by the gloss meter. The results are then clearly shown on the TFT display. This gloss meter is typically used in areas where it is essential that individual products always have the same appearance, texture and properties. In this way, complaints and associated costs are avoided. In addition, the external reputation of companies with consistent quality and consistent products is respected or improved.
