Surface Testing

The PCE-SGM 60 surface tester and gloss meter with small measuring area is used on many types of surfaces to quantify their gloss units. This gloss-measuring device operates on the reflection principle by sending light from a calibrated light source onto the surface to be tested and then calculates the gloss level of the surface according to the reflection of light particles. This meter allows you to measure very high gloss surfaces above 70 gloss units (GU).

- Measurement up to 1000 gloss units
- Internal reading memory up to 5000 readings
- 3.5" TFT display
- Light source: D65

The colorimeter PCE-CSM 1 was developed for quality control and offers a high accuracy. When using the colorimeter, you can choose between different color spaces (CIE L*a*b*C*h, CIE L*a*b* and CIE XYZ). After a measurement with the colorimeter, the reading can be used as a reference value while other readings can be recorded as a sample and later be compared to the 100 reference values easily. A 6 mm aperture is used for sample scanning.
