AELAB GM-06 60° Gloss Meter for Surface Gloss Measurement

The AELAB GM-06 60° Gloss Meter is a portable digital instrument engineered for quantitative surface gloss measurement across metallic and non-metallic materials. Utilizing standardized 60-degree optical geometry, the AELAB GM-06 delivers accurate and repeatable gloss units for laboratory testing, industrial inspection, and production quality control.

Designed in accordance with international gloss measurement standards, the AELAB GM-06 gloss meter integrates automatic calibration, data memorization, and digital signal processing to ensure reliable surface analysis in coatings, printing, construction materials, and polished finishes.

⚙️ Design & Construction

The AELAB GM-06 gloss meter features a compact handheld main unit connected to an external optical probe. The enclosure is engineered for durability and portability, with an ergonomic button layout and a backlit LCD display for operation in low-light environments. The optical measurement system stabilizes incident and reflected light geometry at 60° to ensure consistent gloss evaluation.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The AELAB GM-06 performs surface gloss measurement by projecting a controlled light beam onto the test surface at a fixed 60° angle. The reflected light intensity is detected by the optical sensor and converted into gloss units through internal calibration algorithms compliant with ASTM, ISO, DIN, and JIS standards.

💡 Key Advantages
