The PCE-PGM 100 gloss meter works with measuring geometries of 20°, 60° and 85°, using the reflection principle. This means that the gloss meter emits light which hits the surface to be tested. A part of the light will be absorbed by the surface and another part will be reflected. After this, the gloss meter will calculate the degree of gloss.
The wide measurement range allows the user to test many different surfaces. These features make the gloss degree meter very useful for gloss measurements in quality and incoming goods control. The included software makes later evaluation of the measured data easily possible.
